General Notes: Husband - Samuel Mateer
Farming was his principal business throughout life, but in early life he was also a drover, dealing extensively in stock, which he drove to the eastern markets. He bought a place of 200 acres in Boggs township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, later owned by his son Samuel, at a time when there were neither roads nor bridges in the vicinity, and the tree under which he pitched his tent the first winter, while he cleared a place for his house, was still standing in 1914. In the spring he went for his young wife, whom he had married the previous August, 1843, and they worked together to improve the property, in time being able to build a fine house and barns. He was a Democrat and took a prominent part in the public affairs of the locality, holding the office of justice of the peace for twelve years and serving faithfully in various township offices, including that of school director. Being a carpenter, he in 1859 built the school-house which long stood on the farm and was known by his name. He also contributed liberally toward the building of the Presbyterian Church of Concord, and was one of the trustees of that congregation. He helped to secure good roads in his neighborhood. He was the promoter of the Pine Creek furnace, and in company with James E. Brown, of whom he purchased his farm, established the furnace where the station of that name now stands. Thus he was associated with many movements which marked the progress of his community. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity.
He was born in what is now East Franklin township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and was raised there. Later he located in what was then Pine (now Boggs) township, where his son Samuel S. Mateer later resided, and there passed the remainder of his life.
