General Notes: Husband - Samuel Harter

---

He was born two and one-half miles west of Millheim, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and in the free school near Hickman's cemetery he began his education, which he completed in the Beaver Dam school at Penn's Creek, to which he had to walk a distance of two miles.
For about fifteen years before his father's death, he rented the old home farm, and a year later purchased it at $50 per acre. Subsequently he bought 186 acres, upon which he then resided, and in addition owned some timberland. He was an active supporter of the Democratic party, and was called upon to fill several official positions of trust, including those of overseer of the poor, supervisor and school director. A sincere and earnest Christian, he was a prominent member of the Cross Church in Gray's Valley.
