General Notes: Husband - Rev. John H. Vance

---

Chautauqua, Chautauqua Co, NY

Late in his life, he was the oldest member, in point of active service, of the Erie conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. He entered the ministry when twenty-two years of age and retired after a long and active life spent in the service of his fellow-men. His charges were throughout eastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania, where he became a well-known figure. When a young man, he was employed on the canal between Rochester, Pennsylvania, and Cleveland, Ohio, and while so employed was intimately associated with James A. Garfield, as a driver.
