General Notes: Husband - Adam H. Vonada

---

He was born in the Nittany Valley, at Zion, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and remained at the old home until he attained his majority. He received a common-school education, and as the son of a busy farmer was plentifully supplied with work at all times, unless illness excused him. On leaving home he found employment as a farm hand. The first year of his married life was spent on his father's farm, and he then removed to a farm in Sugar Valley, belonging to his father-in-law, where he remained until the spring of 1882. The next six years were spent in Gregg township, Centre County, on a place which was formerly occupied by John Hoy, and in the spring of 1888 he settled on a farm near Madisonburg, then known as the old Smeltzer farm. He made many improvements to the place, especially in the buildings, and in 1892 he erected a new barn.

It is a matter of great regret to Mr. Vonada that he did not have better educational opportunities, and he was always a strong advocate of better schools. While residing in Sugar Valley he served for some time as a school director. Politically his sympathies were with the Democratic party; he held the office of overseer of the poor. He and his wife were prominent members of the Reformed Church, in which he was deacon for nine years, and also an elder. He was a leading worker in the Grange, and was a charter member of Madison Castle No. 360, at Madisonburg.
