General Notes: Husband - John Bangaman Ream
His school privileges were somewhat limited, but practical experience, observation and extensive reading in later years have made him a well-informed man, and he is not only familiar with current events but also has quite a wide knowledge of classical literature. During his boyhood he spent considerable time at the home of his grandfather Musser in Penn Hall. His time was largely devoted to farm work, and he had little leisure for enjoyment.
He and his wife began their domestic life in George's Valley, Gregg township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where the lady's father owned a farm and there lived until 1851, when they removed to a farm owned by Mr. Ream's father in Gregg township. In 1856 he purchased a farm in Brush Valley, and there continued to reside until 1883, when he took up his residence in Penn's Cave. He then owned 175 acres of valuable land on which were two sets of substantial farm buildings. A heavy indebtedness rested on him after the purchase of his farm, but he worked early and late, and in course of time this was not only paid off but a comfortable competence was secured to keep him and his family through his declining years.
In his political adherency, Mr. Ream was a Democrat, and he served as overseer, supervisor and school director. He held membership in the Reformed Church, and his wife belonged to the Lutheran denomination. He served as elder in Union Church, and was one of its most active and influential workers. Socially, he belonged to the Grange.
