General Notes: Husband - John R. Studa

---

He received instruction in his boyhood in the Muddy Lane School, in Cross Creek Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and afterward helped his father on the home farm until he was twenty-eight years old. For two years more, prior to his marriage, he worked on other farms. After marriage he settled on a small farm near Twin Bridges, not far from the Wabash Railroad, which he rented from J. Reed. One year later he moved to the Thomas McCorkle farm, which he operated for three years, going from there to the McConny farm, in Mt. Pleasant Township, on which he remained for eleven years. He then returned to Cross Creek Township and bought the Pryon farm of 143 acres, on which he lived for seven years and then sold it prior to moving to Burgettstown in 1902. This property was bought by the Washington County Coal Company and they paid a good price for it as it was quite valuable. Mr. Studa still retained a one-fourth interest in 215 acres of land in Cross Creek Township and also owned his residence in South Burgettstown, the lighting plant in which alone cost $100, together with two more lots, and other lots and residences both in the town and in the country. He was one of the stockholders in the Burgettstown National Bank.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and was identified with the Democratic party. Mr. Studa was something of a sportsman, always taking delight in hunting and was considered a fine marksman. He was also fond of driving and kept two speedy roadsters.
