General Notes: Husband - Judge Robert Cross
He was a prominent citizen of Clinton Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, for many years. Born in Pittsburgh, he attended public school there up to the age of eleven years, when he moved with his parents to Butler County, the family locating at Centerville, and he was a young man when he accompanied them to Venango County. He learned the carpenter's trade and became a contractor and builder, and he was also largely associated with his father in business, both in merchandizing and in his experiments at refining oil. After his father's death he continued the mercantile trade on his own account at Clintonville, and meantime also served as postmaster, being the first to hold the office, in which he was retained for the long period of forty years. He was also interested in farming, carrying on both his agricultural and mercantile pursuits until shortly before his death. Mr. Cross was the foremost business man of Clintonville during most of his active career, and equally zealous in all else that pertained to the well-being of that place and its inhabitants. He was an elder of the Presbyterian Church, and one of its generous supporters, an enthusiastic advocate of progress in education and other uplifting influences, charitable and helpful to those less able or less fortunate than himself in material affairs, and a loyal public servant. He was an ardent Democrat and active in politics, and served his township as roadmaster and supervisor, also filling the office of associate judge of Venango County for one term. About 1860 he built the brick house now [1918] occupied by the widow of his son Oliver Byron Cross at Clintonville, burning the brick for it himself. [HVC 1919, 603]
