General Notes: Husband - John J. Carothers

---

He was born on Brady's Hill, Patterson township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, and returned to the home farm in Hanover township at the age of fourteen.

He was the recipient of a good education for those days and was a student at the Frankfort Academy, at which time he took a great liking to that section of the country, and in later life removed to Hanover township, Beaver County, where he purchased a portion of the old homestead and made that his permanent home. His farm consisted of one hundred and fifty acres of land. In political matters he was a Democrat, was once a candidate for the office of associate judge, and once for that of member of the state assembly. At the time of his death he was in office as a justice of the peace, having held that position for forty years, and being the oldest in the county. He acted many times as administrator of estates; was vice-president and director of the Burgettstown National Bank; and was a trustee of the Frankfort Academy. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church.
