General Notes: Husband - William Blanchard

---

After obtaining an education in the schools of his native place, he learned the tool maker's trade, and until late in life was engaged in manufacturing, being located in Fallston, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, a large part of the time. Arriving at the years when men long for rural life, Mr. Blanchard purchased a farm in Taylor township, Lawrence County, and spent the sunset of life in calm and retirement. He was a very active man, could not be induced to cease entirely from work even in his last years, and took a hearty interest in all public affairs. In his political affiliations he was a firm Republican, but did not have time to seek political honors.
