General Notes: Husband - E. J. Agnew


He was born on the home farm in Chartiers township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, receiving a liberal education in West Middletown Academy, and afterward attending Washington College for a short time. In 1837 he began teaching in the county schools, having previously held the position of assistant teacher in the West Middletown Academy for a year or two, and also teaching one year in Muskingum County, Ohio.
After marriage, he and his wife settled on a farm where he erected a good two-story frame house, two barns, sheep sheds and other buildings, to the value of $4,000. The farm contained 118 acres of most productive land, and was one of the best improved farms in Chartiers township, on which there was a good gas-well in operation. It continued in the possession of the family for over a century.
Mr. Agnew settled seventeen estates in the vicinity of his home, and was a very active man in all matters of public and educational interest, having served thirteen years as school director and secretary of the board. In politics he was a Republican. In religion he was a member and elder of the Cross Roads United Presbyterian Church.
