General Notes: Husband - Philip M. Hatch
He was educated in the common schools, receiving the larger portion of his instruction after reaching his majority. He came to Venango county in February, 1851, and remained with his parents he was married. Immediately after marriage he settled on his father's original farm on Allender run, where he remained until 1879, at which time he moved to the homestead of Abraham Prather and was the owner of that valuable property. During the time he lived on the Allender run farm, he was engaged under the firm name of Prather Brothers & Hatch in operating a saw mill; he also conducted a refinery at Oleopolis, situated at the mouth of Pithole creek, for three years, the firm being Hatch & Prather Brothers. He built the first frame building in Pithole City, it being a store and dwelling house. After keeping a line of general store goods in this house for one year, he removed to New Wilmington, Lawrence county, PA, bought a hotel and farm, and four years later returned to Plumer and purchased the Prather farm. Here he resided until 1883, when he removed to Dakota, and there engaged in farming and stock raising until the fall of 1889, when he returned to Plumer.
He was school director and road commissioner; he was a member of the F. & A. M., at Rouseville, and of the G. A. R.; he was postmaster at Plumer from 1878 to 1885, and was a trustee for some time of Plumer Methodist Episcopal church. He enlisted in Company I, One Hundred and Forty-Second Pennsylvania Volunteers, and after seven months' service was discharged because of physical disabilities. In politics he was a Republican.
