General Notes: Husband - William Stephens Conrad


He moved to Buffington township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, with his parents when but six years old, so that he was practically reared there. Although the schools were somewhat primitive and conducted upon the subscription plan, he learned rapidly and made good progress, and at the same time made himself useful about the homestead. While at home with his parents he helped to clear off the land, the timber being made into barrel staves, sometimes called shooks. As he grew older he took an active part in the work of the Baptist Church, which he had joined, and became a deacon in that body, holding that office for forty years in the church of that faith in Brush Valley. Later he was one of the founders of the Dilltown Baptist Church, and became one of its first trustees. From the formation of the Republican party, he gave its principles his hearty support, and was often called upon to represent it in different offices. For many years he served on the election board, was a school director for fifteen years, and a justice of the peace for five years.
