General Notes: Husband - William Bedell

---

He was born on the homestead in Jefferson township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, his birthplace a log house built by his father. He died at the same farm which he had greatly improved and modernized. He attended "Calamity Hollow" school in the old stone building and grew up well informed and healthy. He worked the home farm as boy and man for his parents, and after his father's death bought out the other heirs and became the sole owner of one hundred and sixty-five acres of land on which his father had built a brick house. There William Bedell brought his bride and there he lived until his death. He was a good farmer, prospered and stocked his farm with high grade cattle that for fifteen years supplied Elizabeth City with milk. He always kept the best stock of every kind, but only ran his farm for dairying purposes during the fifteen years named. He brought the farm to high state of fertility, general farming being his permanent business. He became well known in the township, was assessor and school director, and with his wife was active in church work, both Presbyterians.
