General Notes: Husband - Frank D. Gaston

---

At an early period in the history of America the an-cestors of F. D. Gaston came to Massachusetts from France, and among the pioneers of the western section of Crawford county, Pennsylvania, many of his relatives were numbered.

When he was but nine months old his parents moved to Crawford County, Pennsylvania, where, on a farm in Sadsbury township, he passed his youth, attending the common schools at intervals and acquiring the elements of a practical English education. At the age of thirteen he began working at the carpenter trade with his father, and after becoming proficient in his calling followed the business a number of years in Crawford and adjoining counties. About 1874 he abandoned mechanical pursuits and entered the employ of what became the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio Railroad Company, and one year later located at Utica in the lumber trade, thus laying the foundation for what became one of the substantial business firms of the county. He was a dealer in fine blooded horses was well, and was known throughout the counties of western Pennsylvania. He was an active member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to Sandy Lake lodge, Mercer County. He was also an Odd Fellow, a member of the R. T. of T., and politically an ardent Prohibitionist.
