General Notes: Husband - John Mehaffey Rush

---

He was sent to a subscription school, which he attended during the winters until seventeen years of age. At that age he left school and engaged in wagoning between Hickory and Pittsburgh, hauling grain and merchandise, driving four or six horses and a great "Conestoga" wagon. He followed that business nine years, but in 1856 took charge of his father's farm in Hopewell township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and pursued the occupation of farming and stock raising.
