General Notes: Husband - Samuel Coleman

---

He was born on the family homestead in Mercer County, PA, and received his education in the public schools of that period, and by his own efforts at home. He taught school during the winter, and worked at farming in the summer for a number of years. He held several township offices, and for many years was a justice of the peace. About 1854 he was appointed post­master of Centretown and held that office until 1872. He was identified with the old Whig party, and for many years was the leading spirit of the Repub­lican party in his neighborhood. He belonged, with his family, to the Amity Presbyterian Church. After his death, his family continued to live on the homestead, near Centretown, in an elegant residence with beautiful grounds, and possessing an ample greenhouse filled with the choicest plants. It is all the result of the labor of a man who took pride in surrounding himself and family with the pleasant things of life. [HMC 1888, 1022]
