General Notes: Husband - William Johnston


The first thirteen years of his life were spent in his native city, where he began his education, which was completed in the schools of Morris township after the removal of the family to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. He was trained to habits of industry, and under the guidance of his father became a thorough and skillful farmer. In 1854 he purchased a farm of 116 acres in Graham township, Clearfield County, which he converted into a highly-cultivated tract, and also improved a valuable place of eighty-five acres in Morris township that was later owned by his sons.
Politically, he was an ardent Democrat, but has never cared for the honors or emoluments of public office. He was a faithful member of the Presbyterian Church of Kylertown.
