General Notes: Husband - John H. Seyler

---

He was born near Salona, in Centre (later Clinton) County, Pennsylvania, and there received a good practical education. After coming to Clearfield County, in 1836, he commenced teaching in the free schools, and successfully followed that vocation in Brady township for eight years. He was there married and for a short time after his marriage lived on his father's farm. He then bought a partially-improved tract one mile east of Luthersburg, and to its further development and cultivation devoted his time and attention for many years. He erected a large two-story residence and substantial barn, making also many other improvements which added to its value. Removing to Luthersburg in 1891, he bought what the Samuel Arnold home, which subsequently burned down, and he then built one of the most handsome residences in the place\emdash a large two-story frame structure. There he lived retired.
As a Democrat, Mr. Seyler took an active interest in political affairs, and he discharged the duties of the office of county auditor one term, school director a number of years, and township auditor several terms. In religious belief he was a Presbyterian.
