General Notes: Husband - William Truby

---

He was a prominent citizen of Freeport, Pennsylvania, and well and favorably known all over Armstrong County. He built the first canal packet that plied between Freeport and Pittsburgh, the "John Karns," so named for one of his Freeport friends. It is said of William Truby that "if his heart had been gold he would have given it to the poor." For many years he served as a justice of the peace in Freeport, and as such benefited many in the community, sparing litigation whenever possible.
