General Notes: Husband - Simeon Sprowls

---

He was born in East Finley township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and, as he was just a boy when his father died, was taken care of and reared by Albert Squires, in Morris township, where he learned the trade of carpenter. He worked at this throughout the county till 1848, when he bought a farm adjoining the one on which he was born, and during the rest of his life followed agricultural pursuits. He died of typhoid fever. He was a man above the average; he was well educated, and had, moreover, strong native talents. He was a Democrat in politics, and held many positions of trust in the community in which he lived.

After his marriage he located near Prosperity, on Ten-Mile creek, where he remained a short time, and in 1850 purchased, of Samuel McQuery, a farm in East Finley township, where he lived the rest of his life. He continued to farm and follow his trade until the spring of 1878, when he was suddenly taken ill, lingering only a short time, and passed away. At the time of his death Mr. Sprowls had extensive land possessions, having each year added to his original property by hard labor and careful economy.

He and his wife had eight children; seven were still living in 1882.
