General Notes: Husband - Philip W. Barnhart

Roland, Centre Co, PA

In the common schools of Centre County, Pennsylvania, he acquired a fair education, and for two terms engaged in teaching, receiving a salary of $18 per month, and boarding himself. He began his business career as a farmer and lumberman, following the former occupation during the summer months, and working in the lumber woods during the winter season. He re-mained at home until his marriage, at the age of twenty-seven, when he located on a rented farm, which he operated for four years. He then purchased a small farm, the boundaries of which he extended from time to time, until at the time of his death he had a valuable place of 230 acres.
For the period of forty years he most acceptably served as justice of the peace, and in 1895 was again elected by every vote cast in Boggs township, but declined to further accept the office. For three years he also served as county commissioner. Politically, he was iden-tified with the Democratic party, in religious be-lief was a Methodist, and socially he was a mem-ber of the Grange of Pennsylvania.
