General Notes: Husband - Jacob Kiester


He was born in Westmoreland county, PA, and came with his parents to Slippery Rock township, Butler county, when about nine years of age. He remained on the homestead until arriving at his majority, and then settled upon 100 acres of land where his son Jacob S. would later reside. This land was owned by a Revolu­tionary soldier, and was purchased by him, his brother Jesse locating on 100 acres adjoining. He resided upon this farm until his death, spending his entire life in agricultural pursuits. He was a justice of the peace for many years and also filled the office of school director. He was an elder in the United Presbyterian church, of Centreville, and in politics, a Republican.
He had three children with his second wife, only one was still living in 1895.
