General Notes: Husband - Joseph Laverne Free

---

In 1878 his parents moved to Kansas, but after over three years' residence in that state returned to Crawford County, PA, making their home in Townville. Until he was nine years old his education was supervised by an able and devoted mother, who laid an excellent foundation for the subsequent intellectual advancement of her son. He was then placed at school and made rapid progress. For nine successive winters he was an apt and a diligent student and then joined the ranks of pro­fessional teachers. He later filled the office of supervising principal of the schools of Spring­boro. He and his wife were prominent in the Methodist Episcopal church and the ranks of the Prohibitionists.
