General Notes: Husband - Peter Rist

---

He was a farmer of Bullskin township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The farm which he cultivated, two hundred and twenty acres in extent, was considered the model farm of that section. His plans involved adding materially to his landed possessions, but he died in 1861, before he could fully carry on his ambitions in that direction. As a consequence he left his widow with largely encumbered additional lands which she through business sagacity and careful management succeeded in freeing from indebtedness.

General Notes: Wife - Sarah Johnson

---

In 1875 she purchased the Andrew Stewart property on East Main street, Uniontown, Pennsylvania; took up her residence in the old Stewart homestead and proceeded to lay out a portion of the estate in lots which she improved by the erection of nine buildings, two stores and seven dwellings.
