General Notes: Husband - James A. Lukens

---

Lett an orphan at an early age, he made his home with his paternal grandfather until ten years old, when he began working on the farm of William A. Moore, with whom he remained for two years; thereafter he was dependent on his own resources. For the following seven years he was with William Ward, working on his farm until Mr. Ward's death, and then served an apprenticeship to the carpenter's trade. His literary education had of necessity been very limited, but in the winter of 1847-48 he attended school, so that he might better be prepared for active business life. In 1850 he fulfilled his first contract, preparing the timber for the first six bridges erected between Tyrone and Spruce creek on the Pennslyvania railroad. On November 20, of the same year, Mr. Lukens came to Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and for the first two years worked in a fanning-mill factory, and also engaged in peddling the fanning-mills in summers to some extent. For some time he was employed in the lumber woods during the winter season, while through the summer months he worked at his trade of carpentering. In 1864 he began contracting and building on his own account, and he successfully followed this line until 1894, when he turned over the business to his son, and thereafter lived retired. He erected most of the fine residences in Philipsburg, on an average completing sixteen buildings a year, and his business amounting to from $10,000 to $12,000.
