General Notes: Husband - Henry A. Shoup

---

During his boyhood and youth, in the summers, he assisted his father in the labors of the farm and in the winter months attended school, his good abilities and desire for knowledge enabling him, despite the deficiencies of the country schools of that period, to acquire a good education, while at the same time he became proficient in agriculture as it was then understood. Thus equipped he chose for his life work farming and stockraising. His farm, which comprised one hundred and sixty-three acres, was situated three miles west of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, and formed a part of the original tract purchased by his grandfather, Michael Keffer, the home of the pioneer where, eventually, he passed away. He was a progressive farmer and his land was maintained in a high state of cultivation. At several of the county fairs held in western Pennsylvania he was selected as one of the stock judges.
In 1908 the family left the farm and moved to Ligonier, where a beautiful dwelling of pressed brick, with all modern improvements, was erected on Main street, North Side. This house was later the property of their only child, Charles M. Shoup.
Mr. Shoup was frequently chosen to fill various positions in the governing bodies of the Lutheran church of Ligonier. He was strictly temperate in all things.
