General Notes: Husband - William B. Breckenridge


He received such education as the schools of the day afforded, and was well trained in the doctrines of the Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder, and to which he adhered throughout his entire lifetime. He was a farmer, but was also extensively engaged in lumbering and owned and operated a saw mill. In the year 1864, at the age of forty-five years, he retired from active business and removed to Meadville, where he was able to give his children better educational advantages. In politics he was an old line Whig, becoming a Republican afterwards. He served for many years as overseer of the poor. [GPHWP, 242]
