General Notes: Husband - James Wallace Garvin

---

He was only four years old when his par­ents settled in Butler County, PA. His boyhood days were spent in Cranberry town­ship, surrounded by the dangers and trials of pioneer life. He was taken into the home of a Mr. Wallace, who had come from Virginia with the Garvins. Mr. Wallace took a strong fancy to the boy, and adopted him as a member of his own family. James resided in the Wallace home until he attained his manhood. He was schooled in the pioneer period, and enjoyed the chase through the primitive forest. He became a fine rifle shot, and was known as one of the best hunters in that locality. Often when going to work in the clearing, he would take his trusty rifle along, and would bring back with him enough game to keep the family in meat for several days. He resided in Cranberry township down to his death, and was a leading citizen of the community. He served in the various township offices for many years, was an elder in the Plains Presbyterian church, a conscientious Christian, and an earnest worker in the cause, taking an active and leading part in church work.
