General Notes: Husband - David Braden

---

He was the son of a farmer and worked by the day and by the month until after he attained his majority. At the age of about twenty-six he and his brother George purchased a farm on which they worked together for six years, and then bought another near the village of Bradensville, Pennsylvania. When the farms had both been paid for they dissolved partnership, each taking a farm. David Braden besides farming then began buying stock and shipping it to the eastern markets, which he continued throughout his life. His business prospered and he acquired considerable property. He purchased two more farms in Derry township, on one of which he built two houses; ten lots in West Latrobe and two houses in Bradenville. He was a member of the United Brethren church and a strictly moral, conscientious man. He was cheerful, charitable and generous and no man, however poor, ever went from his door unfed or unclothed.
