General Notes: Husband - Joseph Schmader

Leeper, Farmington Twp, Clarion Co, PA

As his parents were in limited circumstances, he was early forced to earn his own livelihood, and as a boy worked in the lumber woods and at boat building by the day. After his marriage he purchased sixty-six acres of woodland in Farmington township, and at once commenced to clear and improve it. He rafted the square timber and logs taken from his land down the Clarion river to the western markets, and in this undertaking met with excellent success. Eventually his farm was under a high state of cultivation, and he erected thereon a large two-story residence and good barn. Throughout the summer months he engaged in agricultural pursuits, while in the winter he followed rafting and teaming until 1893, but after that time gave up the latter occupations. Adjoining his farm he purchased forty acres of the old Buzard, Ritts & Co.'s land and mill site, and cleared a portion of that tract. He also served as general agent for the Chamberlin screw stump-puller, and also for the McCormick Harvesting Machinery Co.
In politics he was identified with the Democratic party, and he served as constable of Farmington township for three years, and tax collector four years. In religious belief the family was Catholic, belonging to Lucinda Church.
