General Notes: Husband - John F. Stauffer

---

After his father was drowned he was brought by his mother to East Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, and reared by her people. He attended the old subscription schools and then engaged in farming. He came into possession of his maternal grandfather Fretts' farm through his mother, who inherited it at her father's death. He thereafter resided on and owned this old Fretts farm which adjoined the borough of Scottdale. It was a valuable tract containing one hundred and fifty acres of good farming and mineral land.
