General Notes: Husband - John C. Murtland

---

He spent his boyhood days on his father's farm. He received his education at the little log school house not far from the old home, and at the age of eighteen years entered upon an apprenticeship of two years at the stonemason's trade, which business he followed for seven years. In 1873 he engaged in merchandising at Troutman, in Concord township, and continued in the same business in various parts of Butler County until 1883. For the following seven years he conducted a furniture and undertaking business at West Sunbury. In the spring of 1890 he located in Millerstown, where he carried on a grocery store. The family were members of the English Lutheran church, of Millerstown. Politically, he was a Prohibitionist, took quite an active interest in public affairs, and was a member of the Royal Arcanum.
