General Notes: Husband - James Harper

---

He was the eldest son of his father's family. He attended the district schools of Hanover township, Frankfort Academy and the academy at Hookstown. He very naturally chose the occupation of his father and grandfather, and learned the miller's trade in the old Harper Mills, which had been in the possession of the family for three generations. He worked at surveying for forty-one years, twenty years of that time in connection with milling in Hanover township. Beginning in 1866 he made surveying his only business. In 1859 he was elected county surveyor, and served one term. He was again elected in 1874, and held the office for many years thereafter. In politics he was first a Whig and then a Republican. He held many offices in Hanover township, serving nine years as school director. The family were members of the United Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Harper was an elder.
