General Notes: Husband - Thomas Wall

Penn Twp, Clearfield Co, PA

He was born after his parents had settled in Penn Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. He was reared on the home farm and remained there for two years following his first marriage and then moved to Pennville, where he was a merchant for two years. After the sale of his store he bought another farm in Penn Township, on which he operated a saw-mill and a grist-mill, together with farming, until 1870, when he bought a tract of 425 acres of timber land, on Bell's Run, and continued to be interested in lumbering until his death, at the age of sixty-five years. He was a member of the Society of Friends. In politics he was a Republican and served occasionally in township offices.

He married in 1854 and removed to the homestead farm in Penn township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. In 1863 he removed to Grampian, where he engaged in the lumber business and in merchandising for six years. He then removed to Bell Run, and purchased the sawmill property of Irwin & Welch, known as the Dr. Hoyt tract, in Penn township. In May, 1894, when engaged in loading shingles on a wagon, the blowing of a whistle frightened his team, which ran away, and the wagon passed over his body; he lived but a short time.

Both he and his first wife were members of the Society of Friends.
