General Notes: Husband - John Earhart


He waggoned for many years on the old Frankstown road; he came to Saltsburg, Pennsylvania, and kept a hotel on the lot later occupied by the Saltsburg bank. He then removed to the Earhart house, later known as the "Central," which was managed by him till his death, and by the family for the succeeding seven months. For fourteen years his daughters, Mary Ann, Kate L. and Lavinia, kept the "Earhart house," No. 37 Salt street, and for nine of those years, S. L. Graham was associated with them.

He commenced life for himself by hauling goods over the "Old Pike" from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. In 1850 he left teaming and removed to Saltsburg, where he ran the Earhart house for twenty years.
He was a lutheran and a republican, and served his town in many places of honor and trust.
