General Notes: Husband - Henry Barkey

---

He established one of the pioneer stores at Evans City, Butler County, PA, and was the local preacher of the “Church of God” until he moved to Venango County, in 1851, where he founded the town of Barkeyville.

He grew up on the homestead farm in Butler County, PA, and followed farming for many years, and afterward engaged as a clerk in a general store. In 1851 he located on the site of Barkeyville and engaged in mercantile business in partnership with Abraham Hunsberger. He followed mercantile pursuits until 1885, when he retired from business. He was an elder in the Church of God, and in politics a Republican.
