General Notes: Husband - Mathias Saxman

---

His was the life of the pioneer boy and man, and in the mill and on the homestead farm he spent his life. While his sisters spun, dyed and wove the woolen and linen goods worn by the family, he with his brothers tilled the fields, raised the flax, sheared the wool, and drove the mill which supplied his neighborhood with the manufactured grain. From their cabin home, game could be seen and with rifle or trap the family table was supplied plentifully. The mill supplied not only the Ligonier Valley with flour and feed, but from even as far west as Pittsburgh farmers drove to the Saxman grist mill with their loads.
