General Notes: Husband - Isaiah W. Cowen

---

He was a babe of nine months old when his father fell on the battle field. He first attended the country schools, but, as a soldier's son, being entitled to the advantages offered at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home in Huntingdon County, he was placed there and remained there until he was thirteen years of age. He then went to work to take care of himself, entering the employ of Flynn Brothers, in the lumber business, and remained with that firm for thirteen years. He then bought a farm in Bigler township, Clearfield County, and resided on it for three years, when he sold and bought a residence and other real estate at Madera.
He attended the Presbyterian church. In politics he was a Republican and was frequently the choice of his party for township offices, serving nine years as auditor of Bigler township, two years as tax collector of Gulich township, two years as judge of elections of Bigler township and also as a member of the board of supervisors. He belonged to the order of Odd Fellows at Houtzdale and was also identified with the Red Men and the P. O. S. of A.
