General Notes: Husband - Edward Callahan

---

After marriage, they lived on a farm near Greenville, PA, one and a half years, when he went to Mercer and worked for Mr. Junkin one year in a grist-mill, after which they purchased a piece of land near Greenville, where they resided for five years. They then purchased a farm, later owned by Jacob Kechler, in Sugar Grove Township, where they lived three years, when they bought the farm later owned by C. Stoll, in Sugar Grove Township, where they lived five years, and then purchased a farm of A. Riley, in Salem Township, where they lived until 1884, when he left the farm to his two sons, John and Frank, and purchased a homestead at Kennard, and retired from farm labors. Politically he was a Democrat. He was elected justice of the peace in 1856, which position he filled for five years, and in 1876 he was elected jury commissioner, and served three years. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church.

His second wife is named in two separate places as Hannah Riley. HMC 1888, 1129 names her as Mrs. Hannah Riley nee McCurdy, which would indicate that her maiden name was McCurdy and that she was a widow of Riley.
