General Notes: Husband - Philip Harley

---

He received a subscription school education, in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, after which he attended a boarding school for one year. At the age of fourteen he began to learn cabinet-making with an uncle, Mr. Sell, with whom he continued twenty-five years as a journeyman, first in Montgomery County, and subsequently in Juniata, to which county they removed in 1846. Mr. Sell located at McAlisterville, at which place, with the assistance of Mr. Harley, he opened a factory. Mr. Harley remained in his uncle's employ most of the time until 1868. While thus employed he had also learned the business of an undertaker. About the year 1868, he spent some time at driving in various parts of Pennsylvania and in Virginia. In 1868, Mr. Harley removed to Delaware township, where he purchased, for five thousand dollars, a farm of eighty-two acres, which he greatly improved. He gave considerable attention to stock-breeding, and was an extensive stock dealer. During eleven years he engaged largely and successfully in raising poultry, which was disposed of principally in the Philadelphia markets.
He filled for three years the office of jury commissioner of Juniata County. He also held in the township the position of school director for twelve years, being for a considerable portion of that time secretary of the board. He was the tax collector in both Delaware and Fayette townships, and was treasurer of the school, poor and special need funds. He was also a prominent candidate for the place of county commissioner, but was not successful at the primaries. Mr. Harley was born a Whig and was later a staunch Republican. He was a consistent member of the German Baptist church, in which he was conspicuous in Sunday-school work.
