General Notes: Husband - James Louthan

---

He was born in Wayne County, Ohio, and was a very young child when his widowed mother returned to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared. He was a carpenter by trade and was employed in various places until he purchased a farm of seventy-two acres in South Beaver township. He sold this to his son-in-law, James Patterson, in 1878 and after the death of his wife lived with his children in Indiana, Missouri and Pennsylvania, and a part of the time with his sisters in Darlington. After the death of his sisters he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Craig, in Beaver Falls, and died there. He was a Republican and very active in local matters. His religious allegiance was with the Reformed Presbyterian Church, in which he held the office of trustee.

He received his education in the public schools of South Beaver township, whither his mother had removed soon after the death of her husband, at which time young James was six years of age. Upon the completion of his education he was apprenticed to learn the carpenter's trade at New Brighton, Pennsylvania. He was engaged in putting in the woodwork in the first brick building in that borough, and followed his trade continuously in South Beaver township for forty years. In addition to this, he cultivated a farm of sixty acres of which he was the owner. After the death of his wife he sold this farm and removed to Darlington, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1896, then made his home in Beaver Falls, where his death occurred. He was in political opinion, successively a Whig, Free Soiler and Republican, and a Covenanter in religious belief.

Upon reaching manhood, he became apprenticed, and learned the carpenter's trade in New Brighton, Pennsylvania. In that capacity he worked on the first brick building in that flourishing borough, and followed his trade almost uninterruptedly for over forty years, making his home in South Beaver. He also followed agricultural pursuits, purchasing twenty acres of woodland, he cleared some, and built a home, very soon adding sixty acres more.
