General Notes: Husband - John F. Stitt
He was a natural mechanic, and notwithstanding the fact that he never served an apprenticeship, was one of the most skillful carpenters and builders in the county, where many of the substantial barns and residences were of his erection. He was one of those men whose versatility enables them to engage in almost any kind of work that presents itself. He was a Democrat, and attended the Lutheran church.
He was a carpenter and farmer, and like his father a good mechanic. At different periods he was foreman of building gangs, and assisted in the construction of the Canadian Pacific railroad. His latter days were spent in his native township, where he met his death, being killed by a passenger train on the Pennsylvania railroad. His remains were laid to rest in the Stitt cemetery (Laurel Point) in Parks township.
