General Notes: Husband - Andrew Sober


He remained on the family homestead until 1876. He followed agricultural pursuits, in which he was remarkably successful, owning a farm of one hundred and twenty-five acres in a high state of cultivation. He held the offices of school director and tax collector, and became a Republican in 1866, having previously been a Democrat. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, in which he served as trustee and treasurer, being in this respect exceptional in his family, the majority of whom were Lutherans.
