General Notes: Husband - A. O. Day
He always lived in or near Washington, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Beginning about 1878 on a farm in Franklin township.
Though but a young lad when his father died, he commenced then his fight with the world. His boyhood was spent on the farm, and in a life of unremitting toil he yet managed to secure more than the ordinary education of "district schools;" reading history by firelight in a "sugar camp;" or, without a teacher, interpreting the mysterious symbols of higher mathematics. He taught school for several terms, and then, after a brief preparatory course in Washington College, read medicine. But the feeling was strong that teaching was his true vocation, and medicine not proving attractive, he again entered the schoolroom as teacher, not to leave it until after thirty years of service. It was as a teacher that he was most widely known and was long remembered. He was twice elected register of his county-in 1872, and again in 1875. In politics a Republican, and in religious belief a Cumberland Presbyterian, he was neither a narrow partisan nor a bigoted sectarian.
