General Notes: Husband - Andrew Braydon Speer

---

He was born in Robinson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, the farm on which he was born later becoming a part of the borough of McKees Rocks. Until he was eighteen years of age he attended the public schools of McKees Rocks and the "Clever" district for about six months of each year, and thus acquired a good education. After the death of his two elder brothers, in 1851, he became manager of the home farm, and so continued until the death of his mother. This farm was willed to his mother and her children by Andrew Speer, their grandfather, and after the death of his mother, Andrew Braydon Speer bought out his sister's interest and became the sole owner. The barn on the farm was built in 1854 and the house in 1879. The homestead was devoted to general farming, although market gardening was a prominent feature. Mr. Speer was an elder in the Forest Grove Presbyterian Church for more than twenty-five years, and he also served as trustee and treasurer. In politics he was an ardent Prohibitionist, and voted that ticket for many years.
