General Notes: Husband - Samuel Oliver Waldron

---

He was by trade a tailor, but operated the first saw mill in his section of Mercer County, PA, and also followed farming. He was the father of five children, of whom David Martin was the only survivor by 1909. He was a soldier of the war of 1812 and politically was a Democrat. He was an adherent of the faith of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The first grist-mill erected in the vicinity of Wolf Creek Township, Mercer County, was the one built by Samuel Waldron at what is now called Centretown, which was operated by water flowing from an adjacent spring. It did nothing beyond grinding corn. In about ten years the first saw-mill was built near the same spring. Samuel O. Waldron was the originator of the saw-mill which used to stand on the east branch of Wolf Creek. He built it in 1835.
