General Notes: Husband - James C. Wachob

---

He was born at what was known as the Stone House, near Ringgold, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, grew to manhood there and was first married to Mrs. Mary Ann (Gorley) Miller. From Jefferson County he moved with his family to Armstrong County and from there to Indiana County, where his wife died.

In his early manhood, he drove a stage covering the distance between Clarion and Bellefonte, and it sometimes happened that he spent twenty-four hours on the top of his conveyance, during periods of bad weather. Later he purchased a farm in North Mahoning Township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and devoted the remainder of his life to its cultivation.
