General Notes: Husband - Josiah Fickes

---

He was reared a farmer and remained at home until he was twenty-five years of age, working for his father. After marriage he cropped for about ten years, and then purchased a farm at York Springs, Pennsylvania, and remained there until the spring of 1857, when he came to Lurgan Township, having here purchased a farm the previous fall. He was quite successful in his business, owning three large farms, two in Lurgan township and one in Letterkenny Township, and very desirable property in Orrstown, Southampton Township. He reared a family of nine children.

He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church. He was a Democrat, and served in nearly all the offices of the township. When the county stood 400 majority Republican, he was nominated for commissioner, and came within one vote of being elected. He also was nominated as director of the poor. He never sought office, but suffered his name to be used under protest.
