General Notes: Husband - John Hockenberry

---

He grew up upon his father's farm, and learned the wagon-maker's trade with Samuel Curran, of Centreville, PA, and worked as a journeyman for five years, and then opened a shop for himself. In 1849 he went into partnership with his brother-in-law, Edwin Christley, and continued to carry on wagon-making at Centreville until 1867. In that year he purchased a farm in Cherry township, containing 130 acres, known as the Robert McCandless farm, upon which he later died. He was a member of the Methodist Epis­copal church, and filled the office of steward in that denomination. Politically, he was a Democrat, and held the office of school director and other minor posi­tions in his township at different periods.
