General Notes: Husband - Samuel S. Saxton

---

He first attended the common schools, supplementing this training by a course at the Paris Academy and then at Florence. After leaving school he taught in Beaver, Allegheny and Washington counties, Pennsylvania; then became a traveling representative (as a collector) of Hosteter & Smith, of Pittsburgh, the extensive manufacturers of patent medicines, his territory being through Illinois.
He lived on the place of his birth, and gave his attention principally to buying and selling stock, also supervising the farm work. In politics his sympathies are with the Democratic party.
