General Notes: Husband - Norman G. Vance


He attended the country schools near his home and subsequently entered Grove City College, where he pursued the regular course, completing it in 1887. He then turned his attention to farming and continued to be more or less interested in the same for many years. He was also profitably interested in the stock business for some years. He owned two Percheron mares and a share in two famous stallions, Partisan and Cleopaz. Partisan was imported from France in 1905, while Cleopaz and the mares were bred on a noted stock farm in Michigan. His farm in Mercer County contained 123 acres and was situated three miles north of New Wilmington, in Lackawannock Township, on the east side of the road leading from New Wilmington to Sharon. His business in hay and feed, at New Wilmington, was conducted under his personal supervision.
He was a member of the Second United Presbyterian Church of New Wilmington and was active in local politics.
