General Notes: Husband - William W. Paul


He received his education in the com-mon schools, and was afterward a student for some time at Pleasant Valley Academy. He lived in West Bethlehem township and worked on a farm, but when twenty years of age removed to Amwell, afterward carrying on a sawmill for his father, which he finally bought. He continued in that business twenty years, and then engaged in mercantile business at Lone Pine.

He was about two years of age when his parents moved from Amwell to West Bethlehem Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and there he grew to man's estate and secured the main part of his education at Pleasant Valley Academy. After he reached manhood he left the farm and learned the lumber manufacturing business, working in local sawmills and for 20 years carried on a sawmill enterprise at Lone Pine before he embarked in a mercantile business for himself. He was a clerk in the store of James Huston, the well-known early merchant at Lone Pine, and in 1882 opened up his own store. In politics he was a Republican and under that administration he was appointed postmaster at Lone Pine and served for four years. He was one of the leading members and a deacon in the Lone Pine Christian Church.
