General Notes: Husband - Urias Peace


He was born in Bald Eagle Valley in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and was, consequently, about two years old when the family removed to Jefferson County. His educational privileges were limited, as his services were needed on the home farm, and he assisted his father in the labors of field and forest, working in the woods until he had earned enough to buy a team. He then operated the Henry Brown farm on shares for eight years. He also engaged in rafting timber down Mahoning creek to the Pittsburgh markets, and for some time was engaged in hauling timber for Leavy & Mitchell, on the Susquehanna river. In 1874 he purchased twenty-five acres of land, of Robert McGee, in Bell township, built thereon a house and barn, and made other substantial improvements. He then purchased the Brooks farm of 132 acres, for which he paid over four thousand dollars. He there erected a new barn, 50X 52 feet, and a fine residence. He cleared the stumps from the place, and came to have one of the most richly cultivated farms in Bell township.
