General Notes: Husband - Perry Edward Hoffman

---

He had the benefit of the excellent school privileges available in the township, and the advantage of many years' association with his father as a training for agricultural pursuits, which he has continued to follow at his birthplace, of which he has had charge since his mother's death. He has bought out the other interests in his father's one hundred acres, and has added forty-eight more adjoining, having considerable fine pasturage as well as arable land. It is favorably located on the Pittsburgh pike, twelve miles southwest of Franklin. Mr. Hoffman has kept his soil in a wonderful state of fertility by judicious liming, having used from forty to sixty tons of limestone a year during most of his ownership. He hauls the limestone a mile and burns it in his own kilns. Besides carrying on general farming he keeps a good grade of cattle and about sixty head of sheep, his various lines of work combining to make operations very profitable.
Mr. Hoffman is a member of the committee having in charge the annual outings of the Bullion Harvest Home, an organization founded fifteen or sixteen years ago at Bullion, four miles from his farm. The charming grove on the Hoffman farm offered such superior advantages for its "get together" affairs that eight years ago it was adopted as the permanent meeting place, and the surplus income has been used to improve the grove and provide essential buildings for the comfort and convenience of the guests at these enjoyable affairs. A committee of about a dozen is intrusted with the management.
Mr. Hoffman affiliates with the I. O. O. F., holding membership in the lodge at Henderson. He finds his time well taken up with his home duties and has given little attention to public affairs except to vote for good men and measures. He is a Republican in political doctrine. He keeps himself well informed in agricultural subjects and is very progressive about adapting himself to new ideas and methods. By way of recreation he enjoys fishing and other outdoor pastimes.
