General Notes: Husband - Jeremiah Klingensmith

---

He received his educa­tion in the common schools of his native town­ship. After following farming for a short time during his early manhood he went to work in the sheet mill at Leechburg, in 1881, entering the employ of Kirkpatrick & Co. He continued to follow mill work for twenty years, until in 1901 he bought a farm of 129 acres near Leechburg, Armstrong County, on the Kittanning road, purchasing the property from the Elizabeth Patterson heirs. From time to time he sold parts of this tract, in 1911 disposing of all that was left except the small piece on which his home was located. In 1907, he began the manufacture of cider, and from a small beginning built up a very large trade, so extensive that in August, 1911, he installed in his plant a cider press of the most modern make, of thirty-five to forty tons capacity, and a twelve-horsepower engine. He also had a chop mill, establishing a feed business of profitable proportions. He served as a member of the school board of Gilpin township, to which office he was elected in 1909, and he was a leading member of the Hebron Lutheran Church at Leechburg. He was at one time a prominent member of the Forks Lutheran Church, which he served officially as trustee and superintendent of the Sunday school. In politics he was a Republican and much interested in the success of the party. [HAC 1914, 633]
