General Notes: Husband - Samuel C. Duff


He was given a common-school education, and after leaving school, he was a farmer, possessing 200 acres of land.

His entire life was spent on the farm on which he was born. He was not a man of much physical strength, but he was possessed of wonderful powers of endurance, which enabled him to hold his own against difficulties which would have overcome many others. He became the sole owner of the farm by purchasing the rights of his sisters, and cultivated it to advantage. He preferred to lease the coal rights under the farm rather than assume the responsibilities of personal operation. He was an ardent advocate of Republican principles, and served as township assessor. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church.
