General Notes: Husband - Samuel Milliken Whitehill


He attended pub­lic school until he was ten years of age, when his parents moved to Clarion County, PA, settling in Beaver township, near Edenburg. He re­mained with them until he attained manhood, becoming accustomed to all kinds of farm labor. On February 22, 1848, he purchased from H. D. Hidecooper a portion of the old homestead. He also purchased in 1858 the adjoining farm from his brother James. He erected a saw mill on Canoe creek, the first saw mill in the section, and there sawed all the timber on his own three hundred acres and the timber on his neighbor's farms. In 1872 oil was discovered on his farm, and many pay­ing wells were drilled, from which he derived a good income. He sold this farm in 1877 to Kitchen and Dick, of Meadville, Penn­sylvania, for $32,000, retaining an interest in the oil wells thereon. He later moved to the Pike, where he lived but one year, then pur­chased a farm from Alfred Boyer, near Nineva, Pennsylvania, where he lived till his death. He was a Republican in poli­tics, a member of the Cumberland Presby­terian church, which he and his wife joined in their early married life. [GPHAV, 1047]

He died July 2. [GPHAV, 697]
