General Notes: Husband - William J. Burton

---

He secured an excellent common school education and later taught school in Neshannock Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, going from the school room into the army. He served for ten months in Company I, Sixth Regiment, Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and returned safely although often in dan­ger of life and liberty. He resumed farm­ing on the homestead and continued there until the spring of 1869, when he went to Millbrook, Mercer County, where he en­gaged in a mercantile business for a year before removing it to Butler, where he carried it on for five more years. In the spring of 1876 he started into farming in Butler Township, but three years later came to Penn Township and in December, 1887, he bought a farm of 114 acres. He had all under cultivation with the exception of thirty acres in timber, and produced corn, oats, wheat, hay and pota­toes.
Mr. Burton and his family belonged to the Shiloh United Pres­byterian Church. In politics, he was stanch in his Republicanism and he held almost all of the township offices. He was a justice of the peace for several years and was an active member of the Grand Army Post at Butler for a number of years.
