General Notes: Husband - Alexander Read

---

He was reared and educated in the usual manner of farmer lads of that period. He early became familiar with all the duties of farm life, and also with the lumber business. He owned a sawmill on the river, which he operated from 1842 until 1882, and then turned his attention to farming. In 1880 he purchased a good farm of eighty acres, and he kept it highly cultivated and it yielded a good return for the labor bestowed on it. In politics, he was a Democrat. He belonged to the Presbyterian Church at Pine Grove.
