General Notes: Husband - Joseph Alexander "Joe" Hanby

---

He was educated in the public school, and was reared a farmer. He worked on the home farm, then was a renter, finally pur­chasing the old Turk homestead near Pine Hill Church. After his mother's death he sold the homestead and for the next sixteen years worked in the oil fields, beginning as a pumper, but becoming lease man for a large operating company. In February, 1898, he bought a farm of seventy-five acres in Ashland town­ship, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and in 1902 settled on his purchase. He had previously for two years been foreman for the Standard Oil Company, but his early love for the soil returned and induced him to abandon the oil fields and run his own farm. He had a good property, well improved and profitable. He raised a good deal of stock and conducted general farming operations. The farm was underlaid with coal and contained rich deposits of limestone. He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Evangelical Lutheran church, to which his wife also be­longed. His fraternal order was the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
