General Notes: Husband - James H. Christy

---

His youthful home was near McGrew's Mill, Sewickley township, and he attended the public schools of that locality, completing his studies in Elizabeth Academy. Reared to farm life, that was the calling he chose upon attaining manhood, and he became the owner of seventy-one acres of land near Elizabeth, Forward township, to which locality his parents moved in 1858. He was a successful farmer, winning from the soil a comfortable existence. He was always active in public affairs in Forward township, and as the candidate of the Republican party was elected to all of the local offices with the exception of school director. For nine years he was township assessor. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
