General Notes: Husband - Daniel McAfoos

---

He was reared on his father's farm and obtained his education in the old log school-house of pioneer days. He had to walk some four miles to school, and often through snow two feet deep. These schools were only kept open for about two months each year and afforded all the opportunities for education which the people had in those early days. He often hunted with his father and helped to kill bears, deer and wild turkeys. When old enongh to do for himself he engaged in farming; his early farming was done with rude tools and implements. His plow he made and equipped with wooden mold-boards. His corn he often ground by hand, as it was seven miles to Kittanning by a mere path through the woods, and the rude, primitive mill there was often crowded with a week's grinding ahead. He came to own a farm of seventy-five acres of good farming and grazing land which was six and one-half miles from Kittanning, Armstrong County.
He was a republican in political affairs and a member of the Reformed Presbyterian church.
