General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Todd


He was the youngest of sixteen children, and after attending the old-fashioned log school-house in Ohio township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, he early in life embarked in farming. He owned the old family home farm of 170 acres. He served as vice-president and president of the agricultural society, and also served as school director. He was a F. & A. M. Politically he was a Democrat.

After his marriage he moved to Columbiana County, Ohio, and there rented a farm, remaining in that locality for nine years. He then returned to his native township and there purchased the old home farm of one hundred and thirty-one acres and resided thereon until 1873. On October 3 of that year he purchased one hundred and fifty-two acres of land in Brighton township. A little later he added twenty-five acres to this tract and there lived until his death. Besides his agricultural pursuits he was actively engaged in oil operations in the vicinity of Ohioville, and was part owner in several wells that had a most profitable flow. He was a Democrat in politics, holding numerous township offices. Although prevented from going to the front at the time of the Civil War, he bent his every effort to raising funds and supplying provisions for the wives and families of those who had gone into the fray. He belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church, as did his wife, and affiliated with the Masonic Order. He made it his custom to keep abreast of all the latest developments along agricultural lines, and was for many years a member of the Patrons of Husbandry.
