General Notes: Husband - James D. Wiley

---

He was reared to manhood in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, attending the district schools near his childhood home, and assisting his father in the labors of the farm, until he had attained the age of twenty-two. For two years after his marriage, he operated rented land in connection with lumbering, and then purchased his own farm of one hundred acres, forty of which had been cleared, and a cheap set of buildings erected thereon. He eventually had seventy-five acres under a high state of cultivation, an excellent two-story residence, substantial outbuildings, and an orchard set out. He also opened up a coal mine, and continued lumbering in the winter season. As a Democrat in politics, he was elected to minor offices; in religious faith he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church.

The same source lists his children in three different places. None of these lists agree.
