General Notes: Husband - John J. Orndorf


He was born on the old family homestead, and received his education at the Vonada school during boyhood, attending until the age of twenty, with the exception of two years lost on account of sickness. On leaving school he assisted his father until his marriage, he then settled on a farm two miles north of Woodward, belonging to his uncle John, and remained there seventeen years. In 1885 he removed to the old family homestead, and owned 136 acres of fine farming land with a good-sized tract which was yet uncultivated.
He was a man whose advice was sought by his acquaintances upon business and legal matters, his sound judgment making him a leader in the community. He was a member of the Reformed Church, and also belonged to the Patriotic Order Sons of America at Woodward, and to the Patrons of Husbandry, Goodwill Grange No. 1030. As a Democrat he was influential and active, and repeatedly held office in his township.
