General Notes: Husband - Algernon S. Holden
He married and in Pike township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, he cleared a farm, which he afterward sold, buying a farm in Morgans Land, where he resided some ten years. On disposing of the latter place, he purchased a farm on the old Erie pike in Bloom township.
He and his wife began their domestic life in Jordan township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, on a farm which was heavily timbered. He continued the improvement of that place until 1871, when he sold and bought 125 acres of timber land, energetically performing the arduous task of clearing and cultivating the place. In Bloom township he conducted the hotel known as the "Forest House," established the post office which was called Forest, and was the postmaster for more than ten years.
He was one of the prominent members and active workers in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and served as trustee and treasurer. He took a deep interest in political affairs, voted with the Republican party, and served as a member of the school board. He aided in organizing Bloom township.
With his second wife he had thirteen children; seven (four daughters and three sons) were still living in 1898.
