General Notes: Husband - George Eugene Ifft

---

He attended local schools and studied at the Grove City College. Entering the Penn­sylvania State College, he was graduated a member of the class of 1922, with the degree of Bachelor of Science. After the completion of his academic education, which also included majoring in various phases of the agricul­tural industry, he spent parts of the years 1922 and 1923 as assistant county agricultural agent in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. In the latter mentioned year he removed to Franklin, where he was the agricultural agent for Venango County.
Mr. Ifft was a leader not alone in promoting modern agricul­tural methods, but as well in civic affairs. He was familiar with the natural and developed resources of the county, had a wide acquaintance with its citizens, and fulfilled well the responsibilities which his work entailed. Politically, Mr. Ifft was a Republican. Fraternally, he was affiliated with the Lodge of Perfection, Oil City, Free and Accepted Masons, and the Grange, Patrons of Husbandry. He was a member of the American Legion, and in his religious faith, a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
