General Notes: Husband - John Robson

---

Bradford Co, PA

He located in Glen Hope, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in lumbering and merchandising, having at one time the largest store in Clearfield County, and owning large tracts of timber land. He afterward moved to Hecla Furnace, where he became the owner of extensive farming property and a gristmill. On selling this, he removed to Marble Rock, Iowa, where his extensive dealings in real estate brought him a fortune; but ill health caused him to go to Nashville, Tennessee, where he also made large investments in land. After disposing of his interests there he returned to Centre County, Pennsylvania, and purchased two large farms near Pine Grove, where he died, leaving a widow and eight children.
