General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Book

---

He was reared on a farm, received a common school education, and settled on a part of the homestead in Cherry township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he made many improvements. He and his wife were members of Pleasant Valley Presbyterian church, in which he held the office of elder. He was an ardent Republican, filled the position of school director, etc., in his township, and was a candidate for county treasurer in 1893.

After their marriage, he and his wife went to housekeeping on their farm and he immediately built a fine frame residence. This home was destroyed by fire, December 10, 1898, but it was soon replaced by another, still finer house, one of substantial construction and fitted with every comfort. On December 1, 1908, his barn burned with all the hay and four head of horses and twelve head of milch cows and other cattle, as well as a wagon
shed and granary, with at least 1,500 bushels of grain and all farm machinery, entailing a loss of about five thousand dollars.
