General Notes: Husband - Edmund K. Ankeny

---

He was just an infant his parents removed to Somerset County, Pennsylvania. He was only seven years old when he lost his father. For a few years during his boyhood he lived in Plumcreek township, Armstrong County, where he attended school, and he was employed at farm work from an early age. At the age of twenty-three years he went out to Waterloo, Iowa, where he worked on a farm for his uncle, Jacob Lichty, and in the autumn went to Thayer County, Nebraska, being one of a company of eighteen formed at Waterloo to go to that county. He worked at carpentry with a cousin, Frank Kelso, picked and cribbed the corn from a hundred acres, and then went with another cousin, Jacob Whippy. He next went to Atchison, Kansas, for eight weeks, at the end of that time going to Brown County, Kansas, and from there to Richardson County, Nebraska. He then farmed for U. M. Saylor, in Brown County, after which he came back to Pennsylvania and commenced farming on his own account, living near Elderton, Armstrong County, on a tract of 120 acres, for nearly two years. His next change was to the William Watterson farm in White township, Indiana County, where he remained one year, moving from that place to the Kimmel farm in White township, where he followed general agricultural pursuits and ran a dairy for nearly eleven years. In the autumn of 1900 he came to a farm, in White township, then known as the Jacob Moorhead tract. At that time the principal buildings on the place consisted of a one and a half story house and a log barn, both of which were supplanted by substantial modern structures, Mr. Ankeny building a barn in 1901 and a house in 1903. He made numerous other improvements, and had a fine peach and apple orchard.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Indiana, and politically was a Republican in sentiment, but voted independently.
