General Notes: Husband - John Henry Pontius

---

He and his wife resided in Beaver Falls, PA, for some time, where he worked in an iron mill, and they later located on a homestead in Donegal township, Butler County. He owned a well improved farm of 100 acres, with oil and gas production. He was an active Republican, and, though living in a township strongly Democratic, was elected to various offices, all of which he filled in a highly creditable manner. He and his wife were members of Mt. Pleasant English Lutheran, church, and liberal contributors towards that organization. He was a member of Millerstown Lodge, Number 457, K. of P., also of the K. O. T. M.
