General Notes: Husband - Daniel Bare
He grew to manhood in York County, Pennsylvania. His first large investment was in partnership with his brother-in-law, Abraham Miller. They bought a farm containing 144 acres adjoining the lands of John and Benjamin Bear and Samuel Prowell. According to the records, this purchase was made in 1820, soon after the close of the War of 1812, when land was considerably inflated in price and this proved a very unfortunate investment. They paid about $80 an acre and they were compelled to sell it at about one-third of the price they paid for it, leaving them both bankrupt. After that he rented the Jacob Haldeman farm on the banks of the Susquehanna River, just below New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, where he lived for eight or nine years, after which he bought a farm in Sinking Valley, then Huntingdon, later Blair, County, to which place he moved in 1832, remaining there five years. Then he bought a large tract of land, containing 1,500 acres, at Three Springs, in the southern part of Huntingdon County. After living there four years, in 1841 he moved to Hickory Bottom, three miles east of Woodbury, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, where he lived for the following seventeen years. There his family, who were then living, grew to womanhood and manhood and during that time his children were all married and began life for themselves. He was a man of limited education and until he was past sixty years of age he spent most of his time farming, but for the last twenty years of his life he was engaged principally in milling and merchandising. During that time he had owned three different flouring mills. He was naturally inclined to a business life and made a success of it. He was a large stockholder and a director in the Woodbury and Pattonsville Turnpike Company. He also encouraged the building of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad, and held some stock in that company. He was a great friend of the public schools and served at times as School Director.
He and his wife joined the River Brethren Church about 1839 or 1840, and were consistent and devout members of that church the balance of their lives and died in that faith.
After the death of his wife he made his home with his son, D. M. Bare, until 1863. Then for about a year he lived with his daughter, Mrs. Andrew Spanogle, after which he lived the most of his time with his oldest daughter, Mrs. Isaac Bowers, at Roaring Spring, at whose home he died.
He was less than five feet, six inches tall, but usually weighed about 165 pounds.
