General Notes: Husband - Abraham West
He always lived on the home farm, the original property being divided upon the death of his father, and Abraham receiving two hundred and fifty acres. He carried on farming and was extensively engaged in sheep-raising and dairying, in later years shipping the milk to Allegheny city.
Politically, he was an active supporter of the Democratic party.
General Notes: Wife - Mary Jane Sowash
After the death of her husband, Mrs. West, aided by two of her sons, carried on the farm with good results. They continued to ship the milk to Allegheny, and had a herd of twenty-two cows. Their farm was mostly flat land, and was very productive.
