General Notes: Husband - Levi Schuckers
His early educational privileges were quite limited, he being able to attend school for only two four-months' terms; but he made the most of his advantages and become a well-informed man. He remained with his parents until reaching the age of twenty-three, working on his mother's farm during the summer and in the woods during the fall and winter months. Much of his time was spent in clearing the wild land, grubbing up the stumps, and in other arduous and laborious tasks; but prosperity at length crowned his efforts, and he became one of the well-to-do citizens of Winslow township. In early life he took many rafts of lumber down Sandy Lick and Red Bank creeks and the Alleghany river. He first purchased 187 acres of land for $5,000, paying only $1,200 down; but at the end of four years the place was free from debt, although he had to pay ten per cent interest on the principal. He added to the original tract until it comprised 417½ acres of the most valuable farming land in central Pennsylvania. It was supplied with all the conveniences and accessories of a model farm, and Mr. Schuckers spared no pains in making it one of the most attractive spots in Jefferson County. He did not confine his attention alone to agricultural pursuits and lumbering, but branched out into other lines of business, and was a stock-holder in the First National Bank of Reynoldsville, and also in the Pennsylvania & Buffalo Land Company, of Buffalo, New York. As a stalwart Democrat, he took quite an active and prominent part in political affairs, and served as school director and assistant assessor.
