General Notes: Husband - John C. Root

---

He was reared in much the usual manner of farmer boys, early becoming familiar with agricultural pur­suits, and acquiring his education in the district schools of the neighborhood. For two years after his marriage, he operated the home farm, and then removed to Ramey, where he followed lumbering for several years. One year he spent on a rented farm in Blair County, PA, but at the end of that time returned to Ramey, where he followed mer­chandising for a year and a half, and then located in Becaria township, contracting with the Eureka Mines, Nos. 12 and 13, to supply timber for four years. In the fall of 1895 he purchased two lots in the town of Becaria, where he erected a large hotel, supplied with all modern improve­ments, and on the 24th of December removed his family to that place.
