General Notes: Husband - Ahijah Chatley


His life-long home was on the old family homestead, where he first saw the light, the other heirs of his father surrendering their inheritances in the farm to him through purchase. He was active in agricultural operations and prospered, much of his early life being devoted to the raising of sheep, a subject to which he gave considerable time, carefully studying the best methods in their care and reaping a gratifying profit both from the sale of the wool and by selling them to the local butchers, who did the greater part of their slaughtering at their shops, there being no large abattoirs near by. He was a Democrat of the Jacksonian school, strong in his political convictions and heartily loyal to the interests of the party. He held the offices of school director and township supervisor. He was reared in the church of the Disciples of Christ and in his manhood clung to that faith, to which his wife was also an adherent, and he held the position of elder in the organization.
