General Notes: Husband - Robert Vincent Atwell

---

His education was gained in the public schools of the neighborhood. Under his father's careful instruction he was well trained in both agriculture and carpentry, and during his early manhood he went West twice, spending a year in Kansas and later a year at Denver, Colorado, engaged in work at his trade. Half of the old home place fell to his share, and he has increased the area of his farm by adding seventy acres of the Scott farm adjoining, the latter being his mother's old home. For a number of years he has been devoted principally to general farming, but for seventeen years he also followed lumbering in partnership with his brother Ed., meeting with gratifying success in both lines. His land is under excellent cultivation, the intelligent care which it has received in his hands being very evident in its fertility and attractive appearance. He has made good use of lime fertilizers and followed approved modern methods systematically, adding to the prestige of the locality as a farming district while continuing the improvement of his own acreage steadily. He has taken a public-spirited interest in the general welfare, has served acceptably as road commissioner for five years, and is found on the side of progress on all questions affecting the good of the community. Like his father he has been a leading member of the Associate Presbyterian Church at Lisbon, in which he holds the office of deacon. [HVC 1919, 901]
