General Notes: Husband - William Hileman


He was educated in the pub­lic schools of the district, and he was in­terested in farming in Manor township prac­tically all of his life. When he was eighteen years old he became interested in a lumber business in Elk and Forest counties, in Penn­sylvania. In 1892 he established the Hileman distillery on his farm, and his output was a large one, his specialty being the Hileman rye, which brand gained him a widespread reputation for the purity and flavor of his product. This brand was recognized as one of the best and purest manufactured in the State. In 1907 he disposed of his interests in this line to a Mr. Goldman, of Ford City. Mr. Hileman was a stockholder and director of the First National Bank of Ford City.
