General Notes: Husband - Jacob Biere Blyholder

---

He received a common school education and then engaged in farming until he was twenty-five years old, when he studied drugs with Dr. Hunter, of Leechburg, Pennsylvania. In July, 1869, he went to Irwin, and in partnership with Dr. J. C. Morrison opened a drug store on Main street. Eighteen months later he bought out his partner's interest and conducted the business alone between thirteen and four­teen years. He then opened a hardware store, but at the end of two years and a half sold out and went to Kansas. There unfortunate investments crip­pled him financially, and his health was injured by the climate to such an extent that he was compelled to return to Irwin, which he did in September, 1888. For a few years he was interested in a stationery store and later in the livery business, but his health finally caused his complete retirement. Early in life he was a Democrat, but later was more or less an independent voter. He was a member of the Lutheran church.
