---

General Notes: Wife - Lavina Reed

---

She was born at the old family homestead. She married and they began housekeeping in a cabin in the woods on Spruce Hollow farm, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. The 160 acres of woods costing twenty-five cents per acre, abounded in wild animals and wild game, with no clearings for miles around. In 1859 the family moved to near Chambersville, Indiana County, where she and her husband lived out their days.
She was a good singer. She knew the Psalms and her voice could be heard in church, clear and distinct. The first night in the "cabin in the woods" was begun with singing, reading and prayer. The fires on this family altar never died.
