General Notes: Husband - General Jackson Woodring


He was born at Huntingdon Furnace, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and was twelve years of age when he accompanied his parents to Centre County. They located on a farm and he assisted in its cultivation and improvement until 1871, when he started out to earn his own livelihood, working for one year in a gristmill at Roopsburg. Later he entered the mill of Joseph Wilkerson, where he remained until 1874, when he returned home and assisted his father during the following summer. Subsequently he was employed in various mills, either as a miller or millwright until 1880, when he began the operation of a mill, where he had previously been employed, conducting the same for two years. For five years he operated a flouring-mill for his brother, G. W. Woodring, in Martha Furnace, and then returned to Port Matilda, where, after conducting a mill for one year, he opened the "Woodring Hotel."
Politically, Mr. Woodring affiliated with the Democratic party, and was called upon to serve in a number of local offices, being tax collector three years, supervisor one year, and school director for some years. He was also prominently connected with the election board.
