General Notes: Husband - William Cowan

---

He was a blacksmith by trade, which trade he learned with Bittner, at Whitehall. He was a whig and a republican, and was township treasurer for many years. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church (liberal).

He grew to manhood on the home farm. He learned the blacksmith's trade, and for many years conducted a shop on his own farm. After his marriage in 1838 or 1839 he purchased of his father-in-law one hundred and seventy-five acres of the original Calhoun farm, and there lived until his death. He greatly improved his farm which was on the Brownsville road, in Baldwin township, and there he worked at his trade and managed the farm and erected the buildings. His wife died in 1854, and although he survived her until 1883 he never again married. He was a Republican, and for many years was township treasurer. Both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church, and are buried at Lebanon graveyard.

For many years he was secretary of the Concord Presbyterian Church, to which he and his wife belonged.
