General Notes: Husband - Benjamin Adams Plumer
Benjamin A. Plumer, whose official term as associate judge began in 1843, was a brother of Arnold Plumer, and a leading merchant of Franklin. He was a man of good intellect and sound judgment, and made an honorable record as associate justice. [HVC 1890, 171]
Almost his entire life was passed in Franklin, Venango county, PA, where he was known as one of the most enterprising merchants and for his public spirit, manifested in his active interest in all things pertaining to the prosperity and progress of the community. He was prominent in the administration of public affairs, serving as postmaster of Franklin under two appointments, May 9, 1832, and Oct. 9, 1842, with only a brief interruption, William Raymond having been appointed July 10, 1841. Mr. Plumer was treasurer of the county from November, 1836, to January, 1839; and an associate judge for a period of thirteen years, from 1843 until his death, having been first appointed by Governor Porter, reappointed by Governor Shunk, in 1848, and elected by the people in 1851. For several years he was colonel of Venango's regiment of militia, reaching that rank after service in several of the subordinate grades, and retained his interest in military affairs to the close of his life. From youth he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and an honor to the faith which he professed, a consistent Christian in all the relations of life. He left to his children the legacy of an honorable career, marked by the faithful performance of every duty, and died regretted and esteemed by all who knew him. [CAB, 512]
