General Notes: Husband - Armour Mellon

---

He was a native of County Tyrone, Ireland, and immigrated to the United States in one month after his marriage. He settled on a farm near Crabtree in Unity township, Westmoreland County, PA, and was engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death. He was a man of superior intelligence and ability for his position in life and was very highly respected by his friends and acquaintances. He was a great reader and a clear thinker. His thoughts took a theological turn and he could discuss “predestination” and “free will,” which afforded the chief bone of contention between the calvinists and methodists of his neighborhood, with such logical acumen that even the best read of the ministers found it difficult to antagonize him upon these subjects.
