General Notes: Husband - Squire John B. Hewitt

---

He was educated in a private school at Penfield, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. In order to make a start in life he went in debt and, with his brother Thomas, bought a tract of 600 acres of land, all in the woods. This they began to clear, making shingles from the lumber, and hauling their product to Clearfield, from which point they rafted it down the river. They built a blockhouse at Tyler. The Squire at the time of his death owned a farm of 200 acres, and was one of the substantial citizens of his locality.
In politics Mr. Hewitt was originally a Whig, later a Republican. He served fifteen years as justice of the peace, and was a member of the school board for the same length of time. He was a leading worker in the Methodist Episcopal Church at Mill Run.
On July 10, 1897, he was stricken with paralysis, and October 4, 1897, he died.
