General Notes: Husband - Reuben Hegarty

---

He was reared at the old home, attending the common schools of the neighborhood, and acquiring a knowledge of farming and carpentering by practical work under his father's direction. He engaged in lumbering in early manhood, working in the woods as a jobber in square timber. In the spring of 1871 he married and soon afterward purchased some property in the town of Madera, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, from his father and improved it handsomely, building a fine two-story house. He then engaged in contracting and building, being one of the leading workers in that line in his section. Possessing an inventive mind, turned his genius to good account, and held several patents. Among his inventions were an improved measuring pole and a folding extension table. He also did considerable work as a civil engineer on the Coal Run Branch railroad for the Wallace & Reading Railroad Co.
Politically, he was a Republican, but, while he gave aid to the party, he refrained from entering any race for office.
He and his wife were both members of the Presbyterian Church, and took a prominent part in its work.
