General Notes: Husband - Robert Bamford

---

He was born in Ireland, and in 1848 came with a party of young people to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had learned the blacksmith's trade, which he followed about eighteen months in Pittsburgh. In 1853 he moved to Noblestown, Allegheny County, working there at his trade for about two years. He then moved to Bulger, Washington County, remaining about four years, thence to Primrose, where he resided four years, continuing to follow his trade during these changes of location. In 1863 he bought a farm of fifty-three acres in Robinson township, and still followed his trade. He afterward added 182½ acres to the farm, and became an extensive dealer in stock, accumulating a large amount of property by combining his agricultural duties with his trade, which he followed thirty-three years.
He voted with the Democratic party, and was much interested in educational matters, having been school director; he was also one of the directors of the Oakdale Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He was a member and trustee of the U. P. Church for many years.
