General Notes: Husband - Luther Mather

---

came to Columbus, Warren County, Pennsylvania, in March, 1825, from Jefferson county, New York, where he had been living for a number of years. Immediately upon arriving there he became the first settler in, and the founder of, the village of Columbus. He built a part of a saw-mill with a little lumber that he had brought with him, and from that sawed out the rest of his building material. Soon after his brother Daniel and Dr. M. F. C. Fitch bought near him, and in a settlement with J. H. Huydekopper for his services as surveyor, Captain Curtis became possessed of lands opposite and also in-cluded in the site of the borough. Daniel Mather and M. F. C. Fitch each donated lands for a public square on the west side of the creek, and Dr. Fitch surveyed and plotted that portion of the borough. David Curtis donated a public square and cemetery on the east side of the creek, and surveyed and plotted that part of the borough.
