General Notes: Husband - Alexander Elder

---

He began for himself by teaching school, and taught twenty-four winter terms, nearly all in Mercer County, PA. He also clerked three years in Venango County and followed surveying at intervals in Mercer Coun­ty after 1840. He settled on his farm about 1839. It was then in the woods. He began clearing and im­proved 115 or 120 acres, besides building a fine brick house. He has always been a Democrat. His wife was a member of the Holiness Band, or Saints of God, a society in Hendersonville, of which he is a member. [HMC 1888, 1053]
