General Notes: Husband - David Way

---

He was born in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and came to Clearfield County in 1854, locating on his farm of 106 acres, situated in Pike township. He also owned a one-half interest in a second farm of 100 acres, situated also in Pike township.

In the country schools near his boyhood home he obtained his education, and was reared to the honest toil of a farmer, remaining with his father until he had attained his majority. After his marriage he began the struggle of life for himself, for three or four years working as a farm hand, but in 1864 he purchased a farm of one hundred acres. Half of the place had been cleared and a small log house erected, but this he replaced by a commodious, two-story residence, good barns and outbuildings, and eventually had eighty acres of the land under a high state of cultivation. It was situated three miles northwest of Curwensville, and was underlaid with a fine grade of fire clay and other mineral deposits. For many years during the winter season he engaged in lumbering and rafting, but later gave his exclusive attention to his agricultural pursuits.
In politics, he was a stanch adherent to the principles of the Republican party. He and his wife were faithful members of the Friends Church.

Farming and lumbering then claimed his attention and he continued to be interested more or less in both industries during his active years. Following his marriage he continued to live in Bell township for one year and then moved to Penn township, remaining there two years, after which he came to Pike township, locating on his farm of 106 acres, situated three miles northwest of Curwensville, where he erected farm buildings. He later lived retired on Ridge Avenue, Curwensville, a tenant managing the farm. Being a consistent member of the Society of Friends, he was never much of a politician, but he accepted various township offices. He served as school director, road supervisor and overseer of the poor, and at one time was also elected township treasurer. He was a member of the Clearfield Agricultural Society and belonged to the Grange.

He and his second wife were distant relatives.
