General Notes: Husband - Delroy G. Birchard


He was born in Cambridge township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, on the Birchard homestead. For a time he lived in North Dakota, where he purchased a section of land, but after farming this for a time he sold it and returned to Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania, and there bought one hundred and eighty acres of the old homestead. He was engaged in general and dairy farming, and devoted considerable time to the raising of Holstein cattle and Chester White hogs, in which enterprises he was very successful. He took an active part in the councils of the Republican party, and served as supervisor of roads, town clerk and township treasurer. He was a member of the local Grange, Patrons of Husbandry. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church at Cambridge Springs.
