General Notes: Husband - John Milton Craig, Esq.

---

On a farm in Sligo, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, he was reared to manhood, and after his marriage he removed to another house on a part of the same farm. He continued to work for his father on the farm and in the woolen-mill until the fall of 1862, when he removed to Pike County, Ohio, but after being employed in a woolen-factory at that place for one year he returned home, working for his father until the spring of 1867. He then spent two years with his old employers in Ohio, and then returned home to settle on his father's estate. He successfully operated the woolen-mill until 1895, when the plant was destroyed by fire at a loss of $2,000. After this he engaged in weaving, while his son carried on the farm. While in Ohio, at the age of thirty-two, he taught school for eight terms in that state and in Pennsylvania.
He always cast his ballot with the Republican party, and, socially, affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Beginning in 1870, for a quarter of a century or more he capably and satisfactorily served as justice of the peace in Piney township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania. For two years he served as census enumerator. In connection with his other business he also engaged in surveying to some extent, beginning in 1870. He was well posted on current questions and issues, and was well versed on matters of historical interest, especially those pertaining to his native county and state. In the Presbyterian Church he held membership, and he always took an active and prominent part in its work.
