General Notes: Husband - Daniel "Uncle Danny" Van Voorhis

Fallowfield Twp, Washington Co, PA

He was a contractor and builder, also dealt largely in live-stock, and was at one time owner of a grist-mill, oil-mill and saw-mill. He died in Washington County, Pennsylvania, leaving a family of eleven children, of whom ten were still living in 1888.

He was reared on the farm in Carroll township, Washington County. Here he erected a gristmill, still-house and sawmill, and employed a large number of hands. After the death of his father he took charge of the business, which had rapidly increased, virtually being the foundation of Monongahela City. [CBRWC, 633]
