General Notes: Husband - Thomas H. Fleming
For eight years he was engaged as a civil engineer in Venango and Clarion counties, Pennsylvania.
He was born in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and was three years old when his father removed with his family to Washington township, Indiana County, and there he grew to manhood. He attended public school in that township, and, leaving school at the age of fifteen, he worked on the home place for his father until the latter's death. His brothers John, Samuel and Gilbert having gone to the front in the defense of the Union, he was the only son left at home, and he cared faithfully for his widowed mother until their return from the army. In 1866 he went to the oil field in Venango County, and boated oil from Petroleum Center to the Susquehanna, continuing in that region for three years. After he gave up boating he ran the engine at a pumping station. During that time he had succeeded in saving some money, with which upon his return home in 1869 he bought the old home place, resuming farming on his own account. He cultivated that property for ten or twelve years, finally selling it to his brother Samuel and removing to Center township, Indiana County, where he bought a tract of seventy-two acres, known as the Judge Campbell farm. He was on that place for ten years, during which time he disposed of the coal rights, and he sold the land at the end of that time. He then bought a 125-acre farm in Armstrong township upon which he remained for two years, continuing to follow farming, selling that place and removing to Indiana borough. Two years after settling there, in 1909, he became superintendent of the grounds of the Indiana County Fair Association.
He and his wife were members of the First U. P. Church. In his political views he was always a Republican.
