General Notes: Husband - Benjamin F. Irvine

---

He attended the public schools there [Towanda, Pennsylvania?] until his parents moved to Warren, Pennsylvania, where he completed his studies. He worked in his father's tannery and engaged in lumbering on the Allegheny river, his father having large lumbering interests. In 1843 he moved to Irvine's Mills, in Cattaraugus County, New York. He there bought five thousand acres of land, much of it heavily timbered, erected saw mills, and caused a village to spring up that was named in his honor. He was a Democrat in politics, and a church member.
