General Notes: Husband - John Swagler

---

He was born on the old Swagler homestead in Somerset township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and his youth was passed on the home place. After his marriage he bought and moved onto 187 acres in Peters township, which he purchased by payments. Not only did he cleared the farm from indebtedness, but added to the original tract 130 adjoining acres. He also owned forty acres near Venetia, upon which was located the Swagler mills. In addition to managing the mill he was a successful farmer and stock dealer, enjoying the reputation of raising the finest wooled sheep in Washington County. He sold the coal which was found under his land for $30,000. He was quiet and unassuming in manner, never boasting of his own success. In politics he was a Republican.
