General Notes: Husband - John Lincoln Stockdill
He was reared to manhood on his father's farm and always resided there. He had the advantages afforded in the local schools, the public school at Oakland and Glade Run Academy, and acquired a thorough common school education. After leaving school he taught for one term, but farming was his life work and he was been highly successful in his chosen line. He was willed a share in the family homestead and purchased the interest of the other heirs in the property, to which he added another fifty acres, owning 270 acres in one tract, which he kept under cultivation. He not only engaged in general farming, but owned and raised fine stock, and bought and sold teams. He erected a fine barn at a cost of three thousand dollars, and he also made extensive improvements to his dwelling, all the surroundings of his fine property showing his attention and good judgment. The place was equipped with modern machinery, and no detail of its management was neglected.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church at Goheenville. He was a Republican in politics, and socially belonged to the Knights of the Maccabees (New Bethlehem Lodge, No. 170) and was a Scottish Rite Mason, having attained the thirty-second degree in the fraternity; he held membership in New Bethlehem, Lodge, No. 522, F. & A. M., Coudersport Chapter, R. A. M., and the Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., at Coudersport.
