General Notes: Husband - Robert Gaddis
He was born on the home farm in North Union township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Early in life he learned the trade of carder and fuller, leaving home when but a boy to work in the woolen mills at West Newton, Pennsylvania. He also worked in the mills at Dunbar, Uniontown and New Salem, all in Fayette County. In 1846 he abandoned his trade and bought a farm in Franklin township, Fayette County, and engaged in its cultivation until 1889, when he moved to Uniontown. Both he and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was a Whig, later a Republican, but during the later years of his life acted and voted with the Prohibition party. He was a justice of the peace twenty years, and also served as school director. When the Confederate forces invaded West Virginia and had captured Morgantown, he joined with other citizens of Fayette County to repel an expected attack on Uniontown, but their services were not required. He often laughingly alluded to his service of "one day."
