General Notes: Husband - Samuel Willison Douds

---

He was born at Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He was brought by his parents into western Pennsylvania, where as he grew to manhood's estate he found employment for his energies in farming. At the same time he acquired a limited education in the local schools, to which he added until he became a very well-informed man for his day, so much so that he taught school for several years, giving his pupils the advantage of the knowledge he had acquired. Later on, however, he confined his attention to farming, first in Washington township, Indiana County, and later in South Mahoning township, to which he came in 1832. Here he bought 135 acres of land, the George Tucker farm, on which there was a small log house and log barn. Into this primitive home he moved his family, and it sufficed until he replaced it, with one of better comfort and larger proportions. Mr. Douds began improving his property immediately, and took a pride in adding to the value of his land in this way, engaging in general farming and stock raising. He was a man of considerable means when he died upon his property. He was a consistent member of the Methodist Church. First a Whig, he became a strong Republican, and served his fellow citizens as a school director and also as justice of the peace. Fond of reading, he kept himself well informed upon current events, and his opinion was asked and acted upon by his associates.
