General Notes: Husband - Amos Bonsall
He was born in Perry County, Pennsylvania, and in his infancy was brought to the farm in Brady township, Clearfield County, where he grew to manhood amid scenes of frontier life. Farming in the summer time and lumbering in the winter seasons in large degree filled up his time prior to his marriage.
He married and began domestic life at Coal Hill, where he purchased fifty acres of land, upon which he made many improvements, but in 1855 he sold and bought 161 acres, known as the Kuntz homestead, where his wife had spent her childhood days. He paid $1,500 for the 161 acres, which was then underlaid with coal which he subsequently sold for $87.50 per acre. He also realized a large sum from the sale of timber. In 1857 he built
a comfortable farm-house. Later he disposed of his interests to his son Jackson, with whom he then resided.
Politically, Mr. Bonsall is a strong Jacksonian Democrat, did all in his power to insure the success of his party, and held the offices of constable one term and school director for the same length of time. With the English Lutheran Church he and his wife and children all held membership.
General Notes: Wife - Catharine Kuntz
She was born in Bavaria, Germany, and in 1830 was brought to America by her parents.
