General Notes: Husband - Virgil A. Birchard

---

His early life was employed in assisting his parents on the homestead farm and in attending the common and select schools of the county. In 1878, in company with his parents, he went to New Albion, New York, and purchased the hotel property known as the "New Albion House," and continued in business there three years, when he returned to Randolph Township. He then engaged with A. M. Hall as teamster and assistant in his store. During the summer of 1883 he assisted on his father's farm, and in March, 1884, in partnership with his brother-in-law, J. M. Burroughs, opened the Commercial Hotel at Guy's Mills, Pennsylvania, in connection with which they had a livery stable and did gen-eral teaming for the merchants of the area.
