General Notes: Husband - Samuel C. Wilt

---

He received his education in the district schools of Venango County, PA, for which privileges his parents paid one dollar per term, according to the rates then prevailing in the old time subscription establishments. After leaving school he gave his entire time to the assistance of his parents on the farm and remained with them until he was thirty-three years of age, when he came to Sugar Grove Township, Mercer County, and located on a tract of land that was then only partially cleared. In 1883 he purchased a threshing machine, which by his mechanical ingenuity was transformed into a portable saw mill. This he moved from place to place and the business proved so profitable that he continued in it for twenty-one years. He then returned to farming and thereafter devoted himself to the development of his property, which was widely known as the “Glendale Farm.” It contained an interesting memorial of the old Erie Canal in the well-defined tow-path, which could still be traced over its surface. Mr. and Mrs. Wilt were members of the Methodist church. He was a faithful Democratic voter.
