General Notes: Husband - Washington W. Witherow

---

He was reared on the farm, attended the common schools of Fairfield, Pennsylvania, and worked at both farming and milling until 1865, when he bought the mill and property and carried on the business himself. In purchasing this mill he bought out the heirs, and settled a matter that had been in litigation for upward of forty years. In the mill are two sets of buhrs, one for grinding chop feed, and another for making flour; and attached to it is a small mill. In connection with the milling business, he was engaged in farming. In 1863 he enlisted in Company B, in a regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served as a non-commissioned officer until he was honorably discharged in 1864.
