General Notes: Husband - Simon Highberger

---

He received quite a limited education in the common schools but made up for the deficiency by extensive reading and self-study. He learned the trade of shoemaker at which he worked continuously and successfully until he was forty years of age. He then purchased a farm of eighty acres engaged in agriculture thereafter. He was once a republican but later affiliated with and gave earnest support to the Prohibition party. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Wineland of which he was class leader and recording steward of Blackburn charge.
