General Notes: Husband - John Laughlin

---

He removed with his family to the northern part of Pennsylvania, known then as “The Pines,” expecting to engage in the lumber business. The winter was very se­vere, there was no provender for his stock, and after much suffering the fam­ily returned to New Alexandria, where both he and his wife soon died, leaving four children: Eliphet, a boy of eighteen; Margret, a girl of sixteen; and two smaller children. Eliphet at once assumed the support of the four and Margret cared for the home and children. By their united efforts the family was kept together, the little ones educated and cared for.
