General Notes: Husband - William A. Christie


He was born in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and received a public school education. He remained with his parents until he was twenty-six years of age, and then com-menced farming upon a part of the homestead place. In 1857 he purchased a farm in Center township, resided upon it for thirty years, and then retired from active life, locating at Unionville. He was an active member of the Republican party from early manhood, filled the office of justice of the peace for ten years, and that of county commissioner for three years. He was an elder of the Presbyterian church for thirty years. [HBC 1895, 1074]

He followed farming in Concord Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, until 1859, when he moved to Center Township and lived there during the remainder of his life. At various times he held responsible positions in county and township, serving five terms as justice of the peace in Center Township and for three years as county commissioner in Butler County. For over thirty years he was an elder in the Muddy Creek Presbyterian Church.

He and his wife were the parents of six children; four were still living in 1895.
