General Notes: Husband - Solomon Shaffer

---

He was born in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and when about twelve years old came to Jefferson County with his parents. Much of his time until his twenty-first year was spent in assisting in the work of clearing the farm. He married and the next three years he passed at Maysville, Pennsylvania, in the employ of his uncle, Daniel Geitz, a farmer. Later Mr. Shaffer purchased forty acres of land from his father, for $200.00, of which sum he paid half in cash; seven years afterward he bought eighty acres more, making a fine property; but on May 13, 1869, he removed to another farm in Beaver township, which he purchased from Mr. Barkhouse. Later in life he gave less time to the active management of the farm, having turned it over to younger hands; but he was very well preserved for his age. His political sympathies were with the Republican party, though his first Presidential vote was cast for James Buchanan. He served one term as supervisor. He was a prominent member of the Evangelical Church, and for some time was a class leader.
