General Notes: Husband - Rev. Jacob E. Dean

---

He resided with his parents until twenty-one years of age, during which time he assisted in the labors of the home farm and attended the public schools. He was also a student in a normal school in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, prior to leaving home. At the age of eighteen he began teaching, which he followed for ten terms. On attaining his majority he purchased a farm in Mercer County, whereon he made his home for ten years. In 1859 he went to Pikes Peak, Colorado, in search of gold, but found little, and in the autumn went to Iowa, where he taught school. In 1861 he returned to his farm and the same year entered the ministry. Later he attended Reeds Institute, in order to further fit himself for this calling. He began preaching at Brownsville, Pennsylvania, where he remained two years, and in 1863 took up his residence in Clarion, where he remained a year. During that time he preached at Strattonville and Corsica, and thence removed to Leatherwood, where he continued four years, having charge of the Leatherwood and Bethlehem Churches. In 1868 he went to Mackville, and from 1868 to 1875 preached for the Union Church and a charge at Freeport. In 1875 he served as financial secretary for Reeds Institute, and the following year came to his present farm of 121 acres, which he has since kept under a high state of cultivation, and in addition he has carried on much Church work. From 1876 until 1879 he was pastor of the Soldiers Run Church at Reynoldsville, and while there organized the Baptist Church, at West Liberty, of which he was pastor for eleven consecutive years. During that time he organized the Church in Du Bois, for which he preached every fourth Sunday for four years. He also organized the Church at Caledonia, and for nine years occupied the pulpit half of the time at Allens Mills. During that period he also preached for three and a half years at Union Church, Armstrong County, and then organized the church at Johnsburg, Elk County, where he continued for four years. Later he had charge of the Baptist Churches in Sykesville and West Liberty, and for a year and a half was pastor of the Churches at Coalport, Mountdale and Medix Run. He was later preaching at Medix Run and Brockwayville, having organized the latter Church in 1891. He was its pastor for a time, and on the 1st of March, 1897, resumed his labors there.
He was a member of the Patrons of Husbandry Grange No. 44, of Armstrong County, and the Patriotic Order Sons of America, of Reynoldsville. His political support was given the Republican party.
