General Notes: Husband - Ellis N. Lilley
He was born on the family farm in East Pike Run township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he received the advantages of a public-school education. After leaving the public school he devoted some time to teaching, and he entered this work with his characteristic energy, which meant success. He proved a power for good, which was felt long after he was gone. He resided on the home farm until 1881, when, his sight failing, he moved to California, Washington County. He died and was buried in the Marchand family burying ground, across the river from California. In political opinion Mr. Lilley was an enthusiastic Republican, and in religious faith he gave liberally of his time and money to the support of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He was deeply interested in the founding of the Southwestern State Normal School at California, and put his first earned money into it. He served as trustee until his health failed.
