General Notes: Husband - William Irwin

---

He remained with his parents until they were called to the home beyond, spending his boyhood days midst play and work. The district schools of the neighborhood afforded him his educational privileges. In 1858 and 1859 he was engaged with William Allison in mercantile business at Jacksonville, Centre County, Pennsylvania; but after two years he sold his interest in the store and purchased a small farm in Benner township, Centre County. It was his intention to remain there only a short time, but he continued to make it his home for fourteen years, and then returned to Marion township, where he bought a farm on which he lived some nine years. He then purchased the old family homestead, and thereafter made it his place of residence. It was improved with a handsome two-story brick dwelling, with good barns and outbuildings, and all modern accessories and conveniences. The land was highly cultivated, and in addition to this property he owned another valuable farm, deriving from the two a handsome income.
He gave his political support to the Republican party, was honored with a number of township offices, and served as township auditor several years, but never aspired to political preferment. He took great interest in the schools, being a director of the board; for many years he was overseer of the poor. He was a valued member of the Lick Run Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder. In his early life he was a strong temperance advocate, and was a charter member of the Sons of Temperance Society formed in his town.
