General Notes: Husband - Hon. Jacob Painter

---

He married and settled on a farm in Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, situated on the Big Sewickley creek, eight miles south of Greensburg, which was known for many years as the "Judge Painter place." He built on the place a stone grist mill which he carried on in connection with his farming. He was an energetic, active business man, a member of the legislature for several terms, justice of the peace for many years, and was the Whig candidate for congress against William Findley, in which contest he came within seventeen votes of being elected. He held the position of associate judge at the time of his death. He was a man of commanding presence, being about six feet in height, heavy set, and weighing about two hundred and twenty pounds. In personal appearance his son, Colonel Israel Painter, is said to have resembled him. He died at the age of fifty-nine, and was buried at Harrold Church. His widow, Catharine, survived him about thirty years, lived with her sons, Christopher and Israel, at the "Willowtree Farm," where she died, aged eighty-four, and was buried at Markle cemetery.
