General Notes: Husband - William I. Harter

---

During boyhood and youth he attended the public schools, and aided his father in the labor of the farm until nineteen years of age, when he left home, and for a year a half worked as a farm hand. Going to Jacksonville, Centre County, Pennsylvania, he began serving an apprenticeship to the wagon and coach maker's trade under Ira C. Johnson, who failed nine months later, and he then went to Mackeyville, Clinton County, where he embarked in business on his own account. Wishing to learn the cabinet maker's trade, he disposed of his business and went to Brush Valley, where he served a six-months' apprenticeship to that trade. He then resumed business at Mackeyville, where he remained for three years, and in 1882 came to Eagleville, where he built a house and shop. He was a natural mechanic, always having been handy with tools. Socially he affiliated with the I. O. O. F. Lodge at Eagleville; was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church; and was an uncompromising Democrat in politics.
