General Notes: Husband - William Wilson Garvin

---

He was born on his father's farm in Cranberry township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. He grew up on a farm assisting at the home duties, wearing his home-made clothing, and attending the little district school a few weeks during the winter season. He remained at home until twenty-two years of age and spent the next two years as a teamster in Allegheny County. In the fall of 1854 he went to Iowa, remaining a few days in Chicago, then a comparatively small place. He resided in the west until 1859, when he started with a party of prospectors for Pike's Peak, but changing their destination he went to California. While crossing the plains the alkali nearly destroyed his eyesight, from which he never fully recovered. In December, 1859, he returned to Butler County.
He was a Republican in politics, and both he and his wife were members of Plains Presbyterian church.
He and his wife had nine children; seven were still living in 1895.
