General Notes: Husband - John Duffield

---

He was born on the old homestead in French Creek Town­ship, Venango County, PA, and spent his boyhood as other farmers' sons of the day did, beginning work at an early age, and gathering what education he could in the irregular terms of the local schools. His first employment away from home was on the old canal, and during his early manhood he was engaged in teaming for a time, driving a Conestoga wagon - the freight car of those times. When he gave this up he turned to farming, and in the course of time acquired valuable business interests as well, carrying on a grocery store and gristmill at Franklin, and investing in oil lands, with considerable financial success as a producer. He died when barely past his prime, leaving a creditable record in all his associations and esteemed by all with whom he had come into contact. He was a valued member of the First Presbyterian Church in the city, and a Republican on political mat­ters. [CAB, 759]
