General Notes: Husband - George Washington Fellows
As his parents died when he was a very young lad, he was early thrown upon his own resources, and obliged to make his way in life by his own unaided efforts. The fact that he accumulated a fortune of about twenty thousand dollars is certain proof of the successful methods he employed. In the spring of 1876 he came to Cambridge Springs, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and there established himself in the grocery business. He associated with himself A. W. Hays, the firm name being Fellows & Hays, and their business became a very flourishing one. About 1884 they erected a brick block, known as the Fellows Block, later occupied by the Post Office, and in this way started in the general merchandise business. This also was a success, until they were burned out, at which time Mr. Hays lost his life. Mr. Fellows rebuilt the place in 1897, but then retired from business. Prior to starting in the grocery business, he had been engaged, in association with a Mr. Sherwood, in the manufacture of barrel staves at Drakes Mills, removing from there to Corry, and then to Wattsburg, in each of which places he continued this business.
