General Notes: Husband - Philip Addison Minton

---

He was educated in the common schools. At the age of seventeen he learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed for over twenty-two years, and won the reputation of a skilled workman.
He lived in Prosperity, Morris township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, for two years after his marriage, then in 1863 removed to the "Old Jeduthian Sanders" farm, lying three miles northeast of Prosperity.
In 1865 a terrible conflagration destroyed all the property of Mr. Minton, and amid the confusion, a beloved child was lost before it could be rescued. Once more he began life with no property excepting one horse and a cow; but with the kind assistance of sympathetic neighbors, he began farming on a very limited scale. His "never-say-die" disposition soon put him on his feet again, and came to own a good, well-stocked farm, on which he erected one of the finest barns in the township, built and modeled by himself. Politically he was a Democrat, and in religions conviction was an elder in the Upper Ten-Mile Presbyterian Church, of which his wife was also a member.
