General Notes: Husband - Hon. Samuel H. Findley


He was born on the old Findley homestead in East Fallowfield Town-ship, Crawford County, Pennsylvania. He grew up under the parental roof and received a good English education. He spent a portion of his early manhood in the South engaged as a contractor. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church. Politically he was always an anti-slavery man, and was one of the local organizers of the Republican party. He has served many years as justice of the peace in a Democratic township, and was prom-inent in the local affairs of his neighborhood. He was a strong temperance man, of wide knowledge of men and affairs, and was highly respected by his neighbors. He represented Crawford county two terms in the Legis-lature.

He made his home on the old family homestead, where he gave his chief attention to farm-ing; and also gave some time to carpentering. He built a large cheese fac-tory which he operated several years.
