General Notes: Husband - Erastus Luther
He was reared at the old homestead, attending the local schools and working on the farm. After his marriage he settled in what is now Bloom township, Clearfield County, purchasing 248 acres of timber land and engaging in lumbering. He sold out after spending six and one-half years there, and returning to Brady township, bought the Rhodes farm, near Troutville, where he followed farming and lumbering. He conducted the sawmill and shingle mill which he built there, and employed ten or eleven men. On November 25, 1889, he moved to Troutville, having erected there one of the finest residences in Clearfield County. He assisted in organizing the borough, and was its first burgess, serving three successive terms, and he was one of the leading advisers of the Democratic party in that section. While residing in Bloom township, he held the office of township assessor for three years. Socially, he was identified with the K. of P., and was one of the charter members of the local lodge.
