General Notes: Husband - Samuel Plummer Christie

---

He spent his life in Washington Township, Butler County, PA, and was engaged in farming and stock-raising for many years. His farm of ninety-eight acres was a part of the old homestead, which originally contained 600 acres. His land was known to be rich in coal and probably also in oil. He carried on mixed farming and raised fine horses. Each year he had from three to eight colts, thorough-bred, and made this a paying industry. His cattle also were of registered stock. He made all the improvements on his place and put up substantial buildings. He had what was probably the finest spring-house in the township, built of stone and cement.
He and his wife attended the Presbyterian Church in Washington Town­ship, which was located at North Hope. He was a Republican in politics and took a hearty interest in public affairs, particu­larly in his own neighborhood, where he served as a school director. He was a stock­holder and one of the board of directors of the North Washington Fair Association and each year sent many exhibits from his own farm. For a number of years he was an active member of Naomi Lodge No. 111, Odd Fellows, at Hilliards, and served in all its official positions.
