General Notes: Husband - Bazzelleel Pitzer
He was reared in Lawrence County, and was a pupil in the subscription schools until the age of sixteen, when he began boating on the canal as tow-boy, and followed this life on the canal for five years. He then began farming, and also ran a threshing machine for a period of twenty-one years. His first landed possession was a ten-acre tract on the old Pittsburg road near Pumpkinton, where he resided ten years, and then moved to a sixty-acre farm on Snake Run farther south in Shenango township, which he occupied ten years, engaged in farming and in operating his threshing machine, in the meantime disposing of his original ten-acre tract. In 1869, he sold his farm, and bought 100 acres near Moravia.
In 1885 he engaged in the mercantile business, in which he was very successful, remaining in trade until 1890. He then sold out at good advantage and returned to his farm.
He was a Republican in his politics, and has served as supervisor many years. He was for twenty years a member of Welcome Lodge, No. 65, A. O. U. W., of Chewton, Lawrence County, and was also affiliated with the I. O. O. F.
