General Notes: Husband - Alfred Banks Cotton

---

He was born on the Cotton homestead, near Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. He was the recipient of an excellent education, which was commenced in the public schools and completed in a commercial college at Meadville. He then became associated with his father in the cultivation and management of the homestead farm, and was thus occupied until his marriage, at which time he removed to a place of eighty-five acres below the homestead, and cultivated this for a period of fifteen years. At the expiration of this term he returned to the homestead, taking a portion of one hundred acres, although he still retained the other farm, which he increased to one hundred and fifteen acres. He was engaged in general and dairy farming, and installed many improvements, among them being a Sharpless Milking Machine, for his fine herd of forty Holstein cows. He also made a specialty of breeding draught horses, during the last years having a number of registered Percherons. He was a member of the local Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. His religious affiliation was with the reformed church.
