General Notes: Husband - Shubael T. Wilder


His educational opportunities were somewhat limited, extending only till he was fifteen years old, when he set out to support himself, learning the nail-maker's trade and working at it in Middleboro, Massachusetts, until 1836, when he went to Fairview, Pennsylvania, where he superintended a nail mill about two years. In the fall of 1838, he moved to New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where he erected a nail mill. In the fall of 1838, he formed a stock company, which leased the plant and manufactured nails until 1840, when he, in company with Mr. A. L. Crawford and brother, bought the plant outright, and the business was carried on there until 1857, when Mr. Wilder went to Cleveland, Ohio, and superintended the building of the Lake Erie Iron Works. He then returned to New Castle, and engaged in the manufacture of steel plates and sheet iron, but was eventually obliged to withdraw himself from active business because of his failing health. He was an attendant of the Presbyterian Church, always giving liberally of his wealth for the support of the different churches.

He moved from New Castle, Pennsylvania, to Middleboro, Massachusetts, and lived there about six years when he met with an accident, being killed by a runaway horse.
