General Notes: Husband - Wilson Cross

---

He was educated in the public schools of his native place, and as a young man became associated with his father in the furnace business. In the year 1866 he opened a general merchandise store at Horse Creek, which he operated for a year and a half, at the expiration of which he removed to Ken­nerdell, Venango County, there maintaining his home and busi­ness headquarters until death called him. He was interested in the lumber busi­ness and for many years furnished railroad ties for the Allegheny Valley Railroad Com­pany. Also, he started the first sand mill at Ken­nerdell. But most of Mr. Cross' attention was devoted to his great merchandise trade. A Democrat in politics, he was deeply and sincerely interested in com­munity affairs but did not aspire to public office, although he was the popular incumbent of the position of postmaster of Kennerdell for a period of twenty-five years. He was a de­vout Presbyterian in his religious faith, and was a generous contributor to a number of charitable organizations. He was a member of the Knights of Honor and was likewise affiliated with the Knights and Ladies of Honor. [GPHAV, 938]
