General Notes: Husband - Mark Ward

---

His boyhood was spent in the country, and for a time he operated a farm on his own responsibility, later disposing of the land and for four years engaged in the general merchandise business, selling goods in Cochranton and Meadville. The large farm owned by Mr. Ward at the time of his death was in North Shenango township, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, and was one hundred and thirty acres in extent. At the time of purchase the property was in a wild condition, and Mr. Ward cleared away the brush and removed stumps and brought his land to a condition of fertile productiveness. He also built a substantial and commodious house and barns. For several years he was interested in the breeding of heavy-draft horses and supplied the demand for the adjacent territory. Though caring little for office, he yet served the township in various capacities, and was for twenty years a member of the United Presbyterian church, being connected with the local society called Ebenezer church of South Shenango.
