General Notes: Husband - John M. Ross

---

In the public schools near his childhood home he acquired his literary education, and under his father's direction learned the shoemaker's trade, which he followed for many years. He also did considerable rafting and lumbering. In 1855 he went to the West, where he spent one season; and then returned to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, working at his trade in New Washington until his marriage in 1859, when he located on a farm in Bell township, and in connection with its operation continued to engage in lumbering and shoemaking for some time.
