General Notes: Husband - Thomas F. Elder


He assisted his father in the woolen mill, and finished his education in Greersburg Academy, in Darlington, Pennsylvania. For three years he kept a store in that borough, and was connected with the operation of the mill until the sale of the latter after his father's death. In 1857 he purchased a farm of 159 acres, in South Beaver, about a mile from the site of the mill. He had a fine brick residence and an excellent farm, which was underlaid with coal.
Like his father, he adhered to the Republican party in politics and served as town supervisor, judge and inspector of elections; he was also solicited to run for county offices, but declined. The family was connected with the Associate Presbyterian church.
