General Notes: Husband - James Marshall Pawling

---

He was born at the old family homestead. He was educated in the local schools and at Bucknell College. After he finished school, from 1874 to 1881, he was engaged in teaching school at a time when in that locality there were not many school houses, but there were a good many scholars, the roll often containing upward of eighty, ranging in age from five years to twenty-two. He had the honor of having the first class of scholars to graduate in White Deer township, Union County, under the grade adopted by the common-school system at that time. On becoming of age, Mr. Pawling received an estate from his grandfather, the late Hon. James Marshall, which he invested in a farm, purchasing what was known as the "Squire Ranck farm," one of the oldest settled places in White Deer township. The place was greatly improved after it came into his possession. A commodious and massive barn and shed were built, running water put into the house, a large lawn, beautifully arranged in front with gardens at either side fronting on the public road, all of which greatly added to the attractiveness of the farm. Mr. Pawling took a great interest in public affairs, having inherited largely the traits of his grandfather [the Hon. James Marshall?], who was one of the leading politicians of his day. In religious belief the family were all Lutherans, Mr. Pawling was for a decade or more the director of music at White Deer Church.
