General Notes: Husband - Henry Hosic George
He grew to manhood on the paternal farm in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, attending the district schools as the opportunity presented itself. Upon attaining mature age, he moved to Jefferson County, Ohio. He there became the owner of a farm, later opening a general store in Cumberland, Muskingum County, Ohio, and in 1840 moving to Locust Grove, Adams County, Ohio, where he established another store of the same nature, likewise purchasing a farm in that locality, which his sons cultivated. He remained in that district for fifteen years, at the end of that time moving to Bellefontaine, Logan County, Ohio, his death occurring in the town of Rushsylvania. Despite his lack of early educational advantages, throughout his entire life he was a deep student. Like most men who are wide readers and earnest thinkers, there were two or three subjects upon which he held strong opinions, and, if the occasion offered, he was not averse to hold forth upon these topics, provided that among his auditors there were some whose views were opposed to his and who would contend his points. He would inveigh with eloquence against the evils of secret organizations, against the holding of slaves and their traffic, or would defend as righteous the existing laws of capital punishment, Being a man of strong likes and dislikes, he was naturally deeply attached to his religion, the Covenanters, and as an elder of that church, was for many years a leader in all of its works, writing many articles for church periodicals, through them becoming known throughout the whole church organization.
