General Notes: Husband - Howard Debolt Dawson


He was born on the old family homestead, attended the public schools of his native township and completed his studies at Pennsylvania State College. After his graduation from the latter institution he engaged in farming on the homestead, later purchasing the interests of the several heirs and becoming sole owner of that property. Although general farming played a prominent part in his operations, he gave his most careful attention to the cultivation of fruit and vegetables. On his property were four wells, whence flowed both oil and gas, about two barrels daily being the amount of the former product obtained therefrom. Mr. Dawson was a member of the Local Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry. Both he and his wife were members of the Reformed Church, and in his national political action he supported the Progressive party, although locally his stand was taken firmly for Prohibition.
