General Notes: Husband - Joseph Earhart

---

He was the ninth child in his parents' family, and spent his boyhood days with his parents. The first school he attended was held in a log building twenty feet square, erected by his father, and furnished in the primitive manner of that period. In 1845 he went to Scott County, Iowa, with his parents, who settled on a farm near Davenport. In 1847 he returned to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, served an apprenticeship at the tinner's trade, and followed that business for some years. In 1852 he embarked in merchandising, and in 1856 located at Butler as a member of the firm of A. G. Boyd & Company, general merchants. He sold his interest in 1858 and returned to Armstrong County, and the following year entered the mercantile business at Worthington, where he carried on business until 1883. In that year he established a mercantile business at Karns City, Butler County, which he conducted until 1892. He then retired to a farm, one mile south of Karns City, upon which he had a good oil production.

During the Civil War, when Lee invaded Pennsylvania, he closed his store and went to Harrisburg as a member of the Home Guards.
The family was connected with the Presbyterian church, in which Mr. Earhart filled the office of elder. Politically, he was a Republican.
