General Notes: Husband - John N. Logan

---

He received his education by commencing in the common schools of his native township, and preparing for college at the Tuscarora Academy. His sophomore year was spent in Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, from which he entered the junior class of Princeton College in 1867, and graduated from that institution in 1869. He returned to his farm and spent two years farming, during which time he became prominently identified with the railroad enterprises then projected through the northern part of York County, and was one of the most influential men in the building of both the Harrisburg & Potomac and the Dillsburg & Mechanicsburg Railroads. He began the study of law in 1872, but gave it up to accept the cashiership of the Dillsburg Bank, which was organized in 1873, and changed into a National Bank in 1878. Mr. Logan remained in this position till 1884, having served eleven years as cashier of the two institutions, and left the bank in a most flourishing condition.
Mr. Logan was also engaged in mining, and was one of the most successful men in the iron ore business in the upper end of the county. He owned one of the finest magnetic ore mines in the state. His mine was worked for many years, and large quantities of ore taken from it, and it was supposed to be practically inexhaustible. Mr. Logan was also largely interested in the promotion of the leading industries in the upper end of the county.
He was justice of the peace for ten years. He was always an ardent supporter of advanced education, and was president of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle of Dillsburg, Pennsylvania. He was also active in social and moral interests; was president of the Upper District Sabbath School Association during 1872-73, and corresponding secretary for many years. He was an elder in the Presbyterian Church of Dillsburg, and was superintendent of the Sabbath-school for ten years or more.
