General Notes: Husband - Samuel Gorsuch

---

He was born on a farm in Independence township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the Gorsuch school, and at an early age commenced to assist in the farm labors. The live-stock of the farm had an especial interest for him, and as he grew older he devoted himself more exclusively to the breeding of fine and highly valued varieties. He had a flock of thoroughbred Delan sheep which won a considerable reputation. He made many improvements on the farm which he originally occupied and it became one of the finest of its kind and size in the township. He was a strong supporter of Republican principles, and held official positions a number of times. He was health officer for his township and for Hanover for a period of five years, and had charge of twenty-one schools. He also served as justice of the peace for thirty-seven years. For more than thirty years he was a member of the Session of Mount Olivet. He and his family were members of Mount Olivet Presbyterian Church.
