General Notes: Husband - John Bowersox

---

His education was that which the schools of the time and locality afforded, being confined to an attendance for a few months of each year at the log school house at Stover's Chapel. A family lived in one part of this build­ing. The work at home was plentiful at all seasons, as in winter he could ride the horse while tramping out the grain in the barn, and the summer brought an increase of outdoor work. At eighteen he began to learn the trade of cigar maker and tobacconist with James Powley, in a shop that stood where the Coburn toll-gate was later built. After finishing his appren­ticeship he worked at his trade for a year, but it did not agree with him, and he learned the tanner's trade in Aaronsburg with George Royer. This business he followed successfully for thirty-five years, devoting especial attention to prepar­ing leather for gloves, which were made by his employees, and he would take about the country for sale.
