General Notes: Husband - William Knox

---

He was born in Buffalo township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and there he was reared to practical farm life, which was relieved by occasional attendance at the schools of the locality, which education he supplemented with a considerable amount of reading and home study.
After his marriage he took charge of his father's estate, which he successfully conducted for several years. There he lived until 1875, in which year he erected a handsome and commodious residence, and moved into it. He put up all new buildings on the property, and made many other substantial improvements. He eventually became the owner of six farms, aggregating 800 acres of prime land, in which were sunk as many as forty oil wells. In addition to general farming he was an extensive stockman and grower of fine wool. He and the family were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and in his political views Mr. Knox was a supporter of Protection at Presidential elections, but at other times he cast his vote for the candidate he deemed best fitted for the office, regardless of party interests.

For many years he acted as director of the School Board in Buffalo.
