General Notes: Husband - John L. Lytle
He moved with his parents to Jackson County, Wisconsin, when very young, the family settling in the timber. In his youth, he spent a year at the blacksmith's trade, but gave it up and turned to farming, which he followed in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, for two years. After a year on a farm in French Creek Township he commenced peddling tinware for W. D. Rider and followed that work for a year, covering an extensive territory. Then he began farming on his own account in French Creek Township, where he bought the old William Duffield farm, selling it after three years' ownership and moving out to Shawnee County, Kansas, to a location fifteen miles west of Topeka. This was in 1884, and he remained there twelve years in spite of the fact that he had a discouraging start, his first year's crop being blasted by the hot winds. In the twelve years, however, he made good progress, eventually trading his land there for a farm near Lisbon, Venango County, Pennsylvania, in Scrubgrass Township. He expected to spend but two years on the place, but as he could not make a sale at the desired time he returned to Kansas after a little delay and lived there again for one year. Upon his return to Pennsylvania he purchased the Wade farm at Big Bend, Venango County, and farmed it for two years, in March, 1915, buying the John B. Atwell farm of 145 acres near Lisbon. He was identified with local activities, a member of the Presbyterian Church at Lisbon and the Woodmen and K. O. T. M., and in politics supported the Prohibition Party, holding advanced ideas on public questions. While in French Creek Township he served three years as constable, assessor and tax collector.
