General Notes: Husband - William Paul
His early life was passed under the parental roof, during which time he was attending the common schools of the district, where he received a liberal English education, which was supplemented by a course of study at Washington College. He continued to reside on the old homestead in South Strabane township, assisting in the general work of the farm, until 1870, when he moved into Franklin township and bought the Hon. R. R. Reed man-sion, together with 110 acres of the very core of this vast estate, to which he later added thirty acres. On this land there were several valuable producing oil wells. In addition to his general farming inter-ests, Mr. Paul did an extensive dairying busi-ness, the market for his product in this line being mainly in the borough of Washington. In his political preferences he was a stanch Republican, always taking an active interest in the public affairs of his township and county, and was a warm advocate of all measures tending to the ad-vancement of educational interests. In religious matters he was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, in which he was an elder for twenty years, and on the organization of the Third Presbyterian Church, in 1891, he became a member thereof and an elder in same.
At one time, no other spot in the neighborhood of Washington being found desirable, the borough officials, in order to obtain pure water supply for the city, secured some eleven acres of Mr. Paul's farm for that purpose.
