General Notes: Husband - Jacob W. Brindle

---

He resided in his father's house until he had reached the age of twenty-seven years, leaving at the time of his marriage. His education was obtained in the local public schools, and in his youth he learned all the details of farming. He acquired a portion of the original Lawrence Brindle homestead, which had been in the possession of the family for a period of eighty-seven years, and he later purchased the Harbaugh farm, situated about three-fourths of a mile west of Youngstown. This farm was a spot of great historical interest, there having been situated upon it in the old pioneer days one of the popular inns on the stage coach route; the attractive and commodious brick house standing there was erected in the year 1826 and was a fine specimen of the home of that period. The farm contained some two hundred and twenty-nine acres and was underlaid with valuable coal deposits, a portion of which were sold. For twenty-five years or more these deposits were worked by Mr. Brindle, who operated coal banks with not only an extensive local trade, but also a large market in other parts of the state, which meant the shipping of his coal to the extent of about forty tons daily. After some years Mr. Brindle removed from his farm to Latrobe. His home in Latrobe was situated on the Lincoln Highway, about nine miles east of Greensburg. But while he continued to reside there for a number of years, his attention was given to his large coal and agricultural interests, which he oversaw personally and which amounted to a large and remunerative industry.
