General Notes: Husband - Nicholas Shanafelt

---

He married and their early home was at McConnellstown, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, where he labored industriously at his trade, that of gunsmith, and acquired considerable property. In 1835 he removed to what was then Redbank township, Armstrong County, but which later became Porter township, Clarion County. The farm which he purchased was on Leatherwood Creek. Being among the early settlers, only a few acres were under cultivation. The land was cleared, and suitable buildings erected. While superintending the development of the farm he continued successfully at his trade as gunsmith. In the spring of 1850 he removed to the village of Clarion, and erected and occupied a residence, later occupied by John Reid, esq., until his death.
After the death of his wife, he spent much of his time visiting his children in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Iowa.
In early life he became a Baptist, and for nearly forty years held the office of deacon.
