General Notes: Husband - George F. Lupher

---

He was two and a half years old when his parents settled on the old Lupher place, Canal Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the common schools of the neighborhood and brought up to farming under the careful guidance of his father, inheriting part of his land. His 100 acres is the same tract that his father began with, and he bought twenty acres of it. The location is one mile from the brick highway, four miles north of the borough of Utica and six miles northwest of Franklin, and he has increased the attractiveness of the place greatly, rebuilding the barn and adding the silo, which he found necessary after he made dairying a main feature of his work. The soil has been bettered by judicious liming and fertilizers, and Mr. Lupher has the name of being one of the most progressive farmers in his locality, being an enthusiastic member of the Plum Grange and Pomona, in whose work he takes an active part. Politically he is identified with the Republican Party, but his public services have been in other lines than office holding. He is a zealous member of Wesley Chapel M. E. Church, and class leader. During his young manhood Mr. Lupher joined the Pennsylvania National Guard, serving five years in the 17th Regiment, which was on duty during the Pittsburgh railroad trouble in 1877. [HVC 1919, 782]
