General Notes: Husband - Samuel Niel

---

He was indebted to the common schools of Indiana County, Pennsylvania, for his educational privileges. He worked on the family farm and in the sawmill until he attained his majority. After his marriage he assumed the management of his father's mill, which he operated for a number of years, and in 1844 purchased 190 acres of land in Gaskill township, Jefferson County, which he transformed into a good farm, and erected thereon a large house and substantial barn. In connection with agricultural pursuits, through the greater part of his life he followed lumbering, rafting square timber down the Mahoning to the Pittsburgh markets. He also dealt largely in real estate, buying and selling timber lands, and by the careful management of his business interests he accumulated a handsome competence.
He gave his political support to the Whig party, and on the organization of the Republican party joined its ranks. He served as [township?] supervisor for some years.
He and his wife were consistent members of the Presbyterian Church.
