General Notes: Husband - Jacob DeFrain

---

He was a blacksmith by trade and was the proprietor of a large shop in which he employed several others of his trade, his work in his later years being confined to managerial duties. He received the patronage of the inhabitants of the country-side for miles around. He and his family adhered to the Lutheran Church, and were earnest, devoted, workers in all of its organizations. His service was rendered the more efficient by his close familiarity with all of the needs and requirements of the church and Sunday School, and for fifty years he was seldom absent from a session of the school. In political affairs he endorsed the attitude and platform of the Republican party.
