General Notes: Husband - Abel Findley


He and his wife settled on a farm that was later owned by their son, Abel A. Findley, in Wayne township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. They made the first improvements on this farm and lived on it during their lives. Mr. Findley was a carpenter and cabinet maker and he also taught school and did writing for his neighbors frequently. He was one of the first officers of the Sabbath School at Glade Run. He was the first leader of singing at the Glade Run Church. This officer was then called the clerk, and it was the custom for him to remain in the pulpit with the minister.
