General Notes: Husband - Samuel Langdon Alter
He was reared in his native township and received his education in the common schools. At twenty years of age he immigrated to Richmond County, Ohio, where he remained one year and then returned home. Two years later he went west again and spent one year in farming in Peoria County, Illinois. The next year he located at Franklin, Venango County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in the oil business for about five years. At the end of that time he purchased a farm in Allegheny township and was engaged in farming and the dairy business until the spring of 1889, when he bought a small farm in Allegheny township and removed to the farm of R. H. Martin, of ninety-six acres in Lower Burrell township, which he began cultivating in addition to conducting a large dairy. He was a prohibitionist in politics, a member of Parnassus Methodist Episcopal church, an energetic and successful farmer and dairyman.
