General Notes: Husband - John Witherow

---

He was born in Ireland, and was quite young when brought to the United States. At an early day he became a resident of Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a tract of wild land and improved a farm. On disposing of that property he bought an unimproved farm in Knox township, and to its development and cultivation devoted his attention until he was accidentally killed. By trade he was a potter, and followed that occupation in connection with farming and lumbering. He was a regular log driver, and took many rafts down the river to market at Lock Haven and Marietta. He was an active and leading member of the Presbyterian Church, in which he served as elder. Politically, he was a stalwart Democrat, taking a prominent part in public affairs, and serving in many township offices.
