near Curwensville, Clearfield Co, PA

He was reared on the home farm and attended school in Greenwood township. For six months following his marriage he worked in a grist mill at Grampian, having been taught the milling business, together with farming, and engaged in the former industry for ten years before settling on a farm, the old Benjamin Bloom place, which had been owned by that pioneer, who was the grandfather of Mr. Kester's wife.
He and his family were members of the Society of Friends and he was an elder in that body. He gave his political support to the Prohibition party. He served his fellow citizens in township offices, being a school director for three years, road supervisor for two years and auditor for six years. He was secretary of the Plain View Cemetery Association.
