General Notes: Husband - Wesley G. Dewoody

---

He was reared on Bully Hill, in Sandy Creek Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, and followed farming there until his removal to Clinton Township, where he settled on the Reuben Sutton farm, the place later occupied by his sons. His death occurred there not long afterward, when he was twenty-eight years of age. [CAB, 1001]

The cemetery book gives the year of his birth as 1853 and states that he died on March 30.
