General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Wilkes Kittera

---

He was the son of a Presbyterian minister and was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, in a district which he afterwards represented in Congress for ten years, from 1791 to 1801. Having been graduated in the arts at Princeton College in 1776, he studied law and was admitted to the Philadelphia bar in 1782. Subsequently he served as United States district attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster Journal, issued on the 13th day of June, 1801, has the fol-lowing obituary notice: "Died, in this borough, on Saturday last, in the forty-ninth year of his age, after a lingering illness, John Wilkes Kittera, Esq., late representative from this county in the Congress of the United States, and on Monday evening his body was committed to the earth in the Presbyterian burial-ground. On this occasion the Rev. Mr. Sample delivered a short but pathetic and impressive address, well adapted to the mournful occurrence, from the words 'Weep not.' (Luke vii. 13.)"
