General Notes: Husband - John C. Altman

He received a common school education and remained at home until the age of twenty-one, when he learned the tanning trade with John Shotts. He followed this calling for eighteen years, and in 1872 associated himself with his brother-in-law, Jacob Buzzard, with whom he remain three years. The succeeding ten years he spent in the horse business with his brother-in-law, J. L. Kunkle. He then engaged in farming on the homestead until the autumn of 1893, when he went to Irwin for a time. One year after this he abandoned agricultural pursuits and retired from active labor, taking up his abode in Irwin where he has since lived. In 1862 Mr. Altman filled the offices of assessor and tax collector. He also collected the bounty tax during the latter portion of the time it ran. He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the Lutheran church.
