General Notes: Husband - Samuel Van Tries, Esq.

---

He spent his early life in Fulton and Franklin counties. While still a young man, he engaged in the manufacture of iron in the Big Cove, in Fulton county. Failing in his enterprises, he lived for a while at St. Thomas, in Franklin county, but in 1843 removed to Penn's Valley, and in 1851 to Potter's Mills. At the latter place he remained sixteen years. He then went to Bellefonte, where his last years were spent. He was a member and for many years an elder of Sinking Creek Presbyterian Church. It is said of him that with all his other excellencies, he was a modest man.
