General Notes: Husband - George Findley

---

He was born on the family homestead in East Wheatfield township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and there he was reared and sent to the subscription schools of his neighborhood, attending a few months during several winter seasons. As soon as he was old enough he commenced working on the Pennsylvania canal as bowsman and steerer, and later became captain of his own freight boats, which ran from Pittsburgh to Johnstown, one of these boats being the "Drucilla." For some years George Findley was thus engaged, subsequently operating the grist and sawmill, and still later settling down to farming on a tract of 226 acres known as the Clark farm, which lay at the foot of Laurel Hill, along the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia pike in East Wheatfield township. Here the remainder of his life was spent, he dying on this property, when he was seventy-nine years of age. His remains were buried in the Armagh Presbyterian Church cemetery, he having been a member of this denomination and a generous contributor toward its support.
