General Notes: Husband - Abraham Hair

---

When but a young boy he was indentured to one William Wildon, to learn the trade of spinning-wheel maker, and with him he remained until sixteen years of age, when he commenced working at various occupations, including carpentering, civil engineering, etc., and was for a time interested in the oil business.
After his first marriage he took up his residence in Taylorstown, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in the milling business for some considerable time, then moved to California, same state, where he worked in a boat yard, after which he was in the oil business on Dunkards creek, whence he proceeded to Clay township, Monongahela County, West Virginia, and there followed farming for some time. In 1872 he purchased the Shepherd L. Guy farm, in Donegal township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, situated at the confluence of the Little and Big Buffalo creeks. Here he engaged in general farming, including stock dealing to a considerable extent. He later erected an improved roller mill at a great outlay, thereby filling a long-felt want in his neighborhood; and in addition to these industries he owned 346 acres of choice farm land. He had no time to devote from his busy life to politics, but he invariably voted the straight Democratic ticket.
