General Notes: Husband - John Stewart Elder


He studied for the ministry at Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from this institution, but his health had become impaired by too assiduous application to his books, and he was obliged to return to the outdoor occupations of the farm. After the death of his father, the farm was divided into three parts and he lived in the house on the old homestead. He and his brother Samuel R. cultivated five hundred acres in partnership under the firm name of Elder Brothers, and for many years were extensively engaged in the raising of sheep.
