General Notes: Husband - John J. Carothers


He was born on Brady's Hill, Patterson township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and returned to the home farm in Hanover township at the age of fourteen.

He was the recipient of a good education for those days and was a student at the Frankfort Academy, at which time he took a great liking to that section of the country, and in later life removed to Hanover township, Beaver County, where he purchased a portion of the old homestead and made that his permanent home. His farm consisted of one hundred and fifty acres of land. In political matters he was a Democrat, was once a candidate for the office of associate judge, and once for that of member of the state assembly. At the time of his death he was in office as a justice of the peace, having held that position for forty years, and being the oldest in the county. He acted many times as administrator of estates; was vice-president and director of the Burgettstown National Bank; and was a trustee of the Frankfort Academy. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church.
