General Notes: Husband - John K. Hosterman
Brush Valley, Centre Co, PA
From 1852 until 1886 he rented a farm from his uncle, David Wolfe, which he bought at the latter's death. He lived on the place until April, 1893, when he purchased a comfortable home at Wolfs Store, and removed there. Even in his advanced years he could often be seen at work on his farm, the habits of industry, strengthened by more than sixty years of active work at his business, being difficult to lay aside.
He was a Democrat in politics, but while took a keen interest in the success of his party he was not a politician. He served as judge of elections, and for twenty-one years was overseer of the poor. He belonged to the Reformed Church, while his estimable wife was a Lutheran in faith.
