General Notes: Husband - Col. George C. Passmore


He grew to manhood amid the scenes of frontier life, and, in connection with farming, worked at his trade of blacksmithing. In the early days he was obliged to go over the mountains for provisions, following a trail, and had always to be on the lookout for panthers and other wild beasts, which were still quite plentiful in that region. He was known as Colonel Passmore, which title he acquired as commander of militia. He took quite a prominent part in public affairs, was an influential member of the board of commissioners, and in politics was a strong Democrat. He and his wife were faithful members of the Methodist Church.

He learned his trade of blacksmithing in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and established one of the first blacksmith shops in borough of Clearfield, Clearfield County, and continued to carry on business till within a few years of his death. He was one of the earliest settlers of the county, locating there when it was almost an unbroken wilderness, and he took a prominent and active part in its growth and development.
