General Notes: Husband - Daniel Risher

---

In 1851, his father bought the coal-fields at Amity, Pennsylvania, which he and his son developed, the firm being known as J. C. Risher & Co. For seventeen years Daniel Risher was the third partner, and on him devolved most of the business, employing upward of four hundred men, and at times getting out 25,000 bushels of coal per day. They had their own sawmill, and built many barges for their own coal trade and for other people.
He was a member of the I. O. O. F., K. of P., Pittsburgh Commandery No. 1, K. T.
