General Notes: Husband - George Durst

---

He began his education at the Fairfield school house in Potter township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, under the direction of Uriah Slack, but as his services were needed on the home farm his education was limited. At the age of sixteen he accompanied his parents to Gregg township, where he assisted in the development and cultivation of his father's extensive farm, comprising over 400 acres, and continued under the parental roof until his marriage, giving his parents the benefit of his services even after he had attained his majority.
He began housekeeping on a part of his father's large farm, which had been sold to his brother, Joseph, who, at that time, was desirous of selling out. The house was an old log structure, which served as a dwelling until 1887, when a new residence was built thereon. In 1886 he removed to a small house, which he had purchased, near his farm, while his son-in-law operated the home place; but in 1889 he returned to the farm. In the spring of 1894, however, he moved to Centre Hall, where he enjoyed a well-earned rest, free from the cares and responsibilities of business life. However, he still owned a farm of 125 acres in Potter township, and nine acres adjoining Centre Hall. Politically, he was a supporter of Democratic principles; in religious faith he was a member of the Reformed Church.
