General Notes: Husband - Thomas Hosterman

---

He was about eighteen years of age when his father died and he inherited the farm. He married and brought his bride to the old homestead. Not long afterward he provided for his mother's comfort by building a good house for her in the same yard, where she spent the remainder of her life, dying when between seventy and eighty years of age. In like manner he arranged in his own later years for quiet, building a new home on one end of the farm when he retired from active business. There he died at the age of sixty-three, his wife having passed away four years before, aged fifty-five.
He had only a district-school education, and for that he had to walk three miles daily; but he possessed a remarkable intellect, and as a public speaker on religion or politics wielded wide influence in his day. As a debater he was unusually successful, and men who had enjoyed superior educational advantages feared to meet him in open discussion. An ardent Abolitionist, he turned from the Democratic party to the Whig, and later to the Republican party. He was an active member of the Evangelical Church, in which he was an exhorter, and his wife was also a devout adherent.
