General Notes: Husband - Henry Large

Mifflin Twp, Allegheny Co, PA

He learned the sickle- and scythe-maker's trade with Adam Coon, and in 1824 he had 225 dozen on hand, which were of little value, yet constituted all his wealth. He was a natural mechanic, and made boilers, engines for distilleries and mills, in Williamsport and Mifflin township. Politically he was a republican; for two years he was justice of the peace, and was elected to the House of Representatives in 1848. He passed several important measures through the house, and won distinction for his able addresses. In 1849 he was re-elected, serving both years on the committee of claims. For fourteen years he was captain of the Union Artillery company. He was an elder of the Lebanon Presbyterian Church for many years.
