General Notes: Husband - James B. Hastings

---

He was born on what later became the Lightcap farm in East Mahoning township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in that neighborhood. All his life he took an interest in current events, being a very well-read man for his period. Making farming his life occupation, he moved in 1866 from his father's homestead to what became the "Lone Pine" stock farm, a property that contained 120 acres, on which he made extensive improvements. There he carried on farming and stock raising with gratifying success until his retirement in 1900, when he moved to Marion Center, dying there. While living on the farm he erected the residence and barns, and developed the place into a very valuable possession.
A stanch Democrat, he gave the principles of his party a firm support, and acted as school director for many years, and for a quarter of a century was on the election board, while, when occasion demanded, he served in other township offices.
