General Notes: Husband - Solomon Hoffmaster

---

He was given as much education as the country schools of a pioneer district could then afford. As a step towards an independent life he learned the carpenter's trade. He married and then managed the home place for six years, at the end of which period he came into Mahoning township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and bought the Cook farm, later owned by William Duff. For six years that place continued to be his home, and then he purchased and removed to the George Henley farm, once called the Rev. Whitten Place, of forty-seven acres. This estate was then the home of the Hoffmaster family, the farm work being superintended and administered by Guy C., one of the younger sons. Finding the buildings somewhat run down and in sad need of repairs, Mr. Hoffmaster remodeled them and inaugurated a series of improvements that resulted in making his property one of the best appearing as well as productive farms in Lawrence County. A fine barn was built in response to the increased needs of the place, and outbuildings added from time to time. After years and years of hard work Mr. Hoffmaster's rugged constitution failed him, and for seven years prior to his death paralysis held its heavy restraining hand on him. He was fifty-nine years of age when he passed away.
He followed the teachings of the Republican party. At one time or another he held the positions of assessor, constable, and school director.
