General Notes: Husband - Rev. Alanson Ritner Day

---

He was reared on his father's farm in Morris Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Washington and Jefferson College and the Allegheny Theological Seminary, after which he surveyed and completed a map of Washington County. After his marriage he moved to the West, making the trip from Kansas to Colorado in covered wagons, and about 1861, established the First Presbyterian Church of Denver, which was the first church of any denomination founded in that city. He subsequently preached in various parts of the West, finally locating in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he was admitted to the bar, but never embarked in the practice of law. In 1887, Rev. Day came to Pennsylvania and located at Homestead, Allegheny County, for two years, then moved to Monongahela City, where he resided four years, and later was living in retirement in Huntingdon County, having built a church at Saxony.

Besides the children listed there were two who died in infancy.
