General Notes: Husband - John O'Donnell

---

He spent his boy-hood days on the farm, surrounded by the limited advantages which that period afforded. At the age of sixteen he left home and secured employment on the canal, then in the course of construction, at Franklin, Venango County, Pennsylvania. At the age of twenty years he went to Alle-gheny County, where he worked at farming and contracting. In 1840 he pur-chased and located on a farm in Clearfield township, Butler County. It was unimproved, and he erected a small log cabin, cutting the timber near its site, and completing it in three and a half days.
