General Notes: Husband - James Crossgrove

---

He was reared on a farm, educated in the subscription schools, and learned the carpenter's trade under Mr. Lashel, of New Berlin, Pennsylvania. He started in life in limited circumstances, and often walked from Limestone to Bellefonte, where he worked at carpentering, except during the harvest season when he was employed on different farms. At length he was enabled to purchase a small farm, upon which he would work in the early spring before the carpenter season opened.
He was a prominent citizen, and was frequently called upon to settle differences between his neighbors, who also entrusted him with their moneyed interests. In politics he was a Democrat, and was honored with a number of township and county offices. He belonged to the Presbyterian Church, and long served as Sunday-school superintendent. He was also a lieutenant and captain for many years in the home military companies.
