General Notes: Husband - Cosmus S. Clendenin


He learned the trade of shoe-making with his father, and continued in the business for a number of years. In 1856, he was married and worked at his trade in his native county for twelve years before removal to York County, Pennsylvania, where a farm was purchased and his trade discontinued. In 1878 he disposed of his farm and came to Milltown and, in 1880, established himself in mercantile business. The same year he was appointed postmaster. The mercantile business was transferred to his son, W. H., January 1, 1886, and Mr. Clendenin thereafter lived a retired life, caring only for the duties of the postoffice. He was a member of the German Reformed Church for twenty-six years, and then united with the United Brethren denomination. Politically he was trained with the Republican party from its organization, but had no aspirations for official honors.
