General Notes: Husband - Joseph C. Himes

---

At the time of his birth the southern part of Porter township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, was then merely one large farm, owned by the brothers, John and Joseph Himes, father and uncle of Joseph C.
After obtaining a meager education in the public schools of the day he turned his attention to cabinetmaking, and was identified with contracting and building enterprises during the entire period of his active career.

He was born in New Bethlehem, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared to manhood. He learned the trade of carpenter, which he followed for a time as a journey-man, later embarking in business for himself as a contractor and builder, in which line he continued to the end of his days. He was a Democrat in politics and was elected to the office of burgess for two terms. During the Civil war he sympathized with the Union cause, and served as a soldier, enlisting May 7, 1862, in Company C, 78th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and being honorably discharged, as corporal, Sept. 11, 1865. He was a member of the M. E. Church and of the Masonic fraternity.
