General Notes: Husband - Benoni Dawson
He obtained the rudiments of an education in the district schools. He learned farming and bought a farm for himself in 1854. This farm contained one hundred and twenty acres, and was partly improved, having a fine log cabin on the premises. This was torn down and replaced by a convenient frame and log residence.
He grew fruit in large quantities. He also devoted much time to stockraising, selling mostly to East Liverpool markets. He was a stanch Republican, and served as a school director, and in various other township offices. In early life he was a member of the Episcopal church, and assisted materially in building the church at Georgetown. Later in life, he joined the Presbyterian denomination in which he was a trustee for twenty-five years or more.
