General Notes: Husband - Alonzo Baldwin Furman


He was born in Clarion Township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and spent his early boyhood on the farm. In 1847 the family removed to Clarion, where he continued his education, which he had begun at Strattonville. In 1859 he settled at the latter place, where he then resided. As a competent blacksmith, machinist and millwright he always had plenty of occupation, and during the early days he made oil well tools by hand. In early years he took an active part in the local government also, serving as member of the council and for a number of years on the school board, and he was a zealous member of the Baptist Church beginning in 1858, helping to get out the lumber used in the construction of its first house of worship. He voted for the first Republican candidate for the Presidency, John C. Fremont, and adhered to the party faithfully thereafter.
