General Notes: Husband - William C. Huston

---

He was born on his father's farm in what later became Silver Spring township of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He grew to manhood on the farm, but in addition to farming learned the carpenter's trade and for years was noted as a carpenter and bridge builder. He did bridge building in the vicinity of Pittsburgh and among the memories he would recall in after years were several trips between his home in Cumberland County and the scene of his labors, which he made on foot. He was remarkable not only for his skill as a mechanic but also for his great physical endurance.
After his marriage he lived on the family homestead until the spring of 1847, when he moved to Hogestown. In 1849 he purchased a small farm
a short distance north of Mechanicsburg, on the road leading to Hogestown, which continued to be his home until 1882, when on account of the infirmities of age he removed to the home of his son, E. Rankin Huston, in Mechanicsburg. He died and his remains were laid to rest by the side of those of his father, in the cemetery of the Silver Spring Church.
