General Notes: Husband - George Croushore


At his father's death he took charge of the farm and afterwards bought it, paying a dowry for twenty-four years to his mother. In November, 1848, while on the road with a team of four horses returning from Pittsburgh with a load of lumber, when near his home, going down a steep hill on the farm, and while in the act of placing the "rough lock," his clothes caught on the roots of a large tree near the foot of the hill, the reins of the saddle horse breaking, he was thrown between the roots of the tree and the wagon wheel and instantly killed. Like his father, he was a stanch democrat and a member of the Reformed church at Brush Creek, where he was a leading member and frequently acted as elder and deacon.


General Notes: Wife - Margaret Baughman


She and her husband had six sons and four daughters.
