General Notes: Husband - James Rayburn

---

He was reared in North Buffalo township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and obtained his education in the common schools. He was but nine years old when his father died, and he commenced assisting with the farm work at an early age, being only a youth when he took control of the place, of which he had had full charge for a number of years. The property consisted of 195 acres, of which twenty-five acres were woodland. He did general farming and fed considerable stock, and raised some horses, sheep and hogs. Four gas wells were sunk on the place, only two of which, however, were producing; they were held under lease by a corporation. No coal banks were opened on the farm, though it was coal land. Mr. Rayburn took some part in local affairs, serving one year as road supervisor, and was justice of the peace for some years. His home is on Free Delivery route No. 2, from Worthington.
