General Notes: Husband - Andrew Proudfit
He served as a volunteer in the War of 1812. His company, under Capt. William Allison, was ordered out Nov. 7, 1814. In 1817 he went with his father's family to western New York. After his marriage he lived in Friendship, Allegany County, New York, until 1833. In that year he moved with his family to Franklin Township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, where he bought a farm of H. J. Huidekoper. Here he farmed and practiced his trade of cooper until his children were grown, and here at the home of his oldest son, to whom the farm had been transferred, he died of pneumonia.
He was a man of strong character, but not aggressive. His unquestioned integrity and absolute fairness commanded confidence, and his uniformly considerate treatment of others made enemies impossible. Singularly free from personal prejudices and petty weaknesses, he was one of those rare persons whose friends find nothing to censure during his life, and nothing to excuse after his death.
A quiet dignity of manner, and an intelligent interest in matters of general importance, gave the impression of a man of the world, though after he settled in Pennsylvania he rarely traveled beyond the limits of the county, and never made a journey by rail. His mind was open and receptive to the last. The habit of smoking, formed when a young man, he gave up after he was seventy years old, because he became convinced that it was injurious.
He had a great fondness for flowers. "My earliest recollection of a visit at "Uncle Andrew's" is associated with my first acquaintance with the gilliflower or stock, some plants of which were blooming luxuriantly where he had sown the seed in a hollow stump in his front dooryard."
