General Notes: Husband - Daniel North
He was reared at his birthplace and had average advantages for the times. His elder brother, Joseph, came to Jefferson County about 1846, Daniel following in about a year, shortly afterwards buying the property where he afterwards made his home. The nearest road was four miles to the southeast, he having to blaze the way from the old David McKee farm. He lived in a shanty, until married, in 1848, then building the frame house which he used until a handsome, large brick residence was ready for occupancy in 1861 and in which he died. He made a few rafts, but lumber had not attained much value and most of the timber was burned. He lumbered during the winter season until farming became more profitable, thereafter devoting all his time to agriculture, and succeeded in placing 140 acres of the 170 under cultivation. In 1857 he built a barn which stood until destroyed by fire in 1913. In 1861 he and his brother Joseph decided to put up substantial brick dwellings, and had the brick burned on Joseph's farm, by Robert Bouk. John Drum and John Evans did the carpenter work on Daniel's house, a Mr. Stupes built the stone wall, split the stones and probably laid the brick, and John Fairman was the painter.
Daniel North was a general farmer throughout his active years, turning the management over to Curtin some four or five years prior to his death. The coal deposits of the farm he sold about 1889 for $62.50 per acre, but the work of development was never started, and after seventeen years the coal was sold for taxes when J. Curtin North bought it back for about nine hundred dollars. Mr. North owned about six hundred acres, and though he had a large family he gave each son a farm, and each daughter over two thousand dollars.
Mr. North took a keen interest in local progress and development and held office most of the time, serving as school director, tax collector, assessor and overseer of the poor, being retained in the latter position some twenty years. In this he was succeeded by his son J. Curtin North, who filled the office for eleven years, until the establishment of the county farm.
Mr. North assisted all churches, but was particularly interested in the Zion Cumberland Presbyterian, in which he was for many years a trustee and elder. He donated an acre, about three hundred yards from his home, for the church site and cemetery, and there he and his wife are buried.
