General Notes: Husband - Martin V. Mapes


He attended the Wolf Run school when he was a boy and as soon as he was old enough to take upon himself such responsibilities, he went into the livestock insurance business and also carried fire risks, and for four years traveled in this line through Ohio and Kentucky. After his return and marriage, he settled on a farm, his maternal grandfather's old property, and among the improvements he made was to add a handsome residence. About 100 acres of the farm were tillable. Mr. Mapes made a specialty of producing cream for butter purposes, keeping Jersey and Guernsey cows for this purpose. He was more or less interested in the local creamery for some time and was at one time secretary of the organization and later was a director. He was a member of the Grange at Mt. Joy.
