General Notes: Husband - John K. Swisher

---

He was born on his father's farm, situated along the Susquehanna River, not far from the capital city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Prior to his marriage he visited North Beaver Township, Lawrence County, and secured his land and then returned to eastern Pennsylvania, where he married, and by wagon, brought his bride to the new home. He became a man of large substance and much prominence. He was one of the first county commissioners of Lawrence County and his name appears on the court records as serving when the court house was built. He owned 200 acres of land, and on his farm both he and wife died.
