The late Dan Fulkerson's birth occurred June 8, 1823. at Sunbury, and his youth was spent in Northumberland and Tioga counties. In 1852 he married Miss Eleanor Stephens, daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Stephens, of Clearfield, Penn. About the same time he bought a large tract of timber land in the coun- ty, where he erected a sawmill and for some time engaged in the manufacture of lumber. He afterward soldi this property to Mr. Fry, and purchased about 300 acres in Gulich township, Clearfield county, the present homestead. He and his wife occupied a small frame house while he cleared the place, but as prosperity came to

them substantial improvements were made until the farm became one of the best in the vicinity. In 1863 a sawmill and barn were built, followed in 1868 by the handsome and commodious brick dwelling house, in which the family now reside. Mr. Fulkerson was an excellent workman, and the house, which is supplied with all the modern improvements, shows many evidences of his skill and taste. Mr. Fulkerson's innate kindness was best seen in the home circle, but in the wider sphere of the community he gave generously of his time and money whenever his aid was need- ed. He was reared in the Presbyterian faith, yet never joined any Church, although he was a liberal giver to all denominations and especially to the Baptist Church, of which his beloved wife was and is a consistent member. He died at his home January 29, 1876, from pneumonia, and his taking off was felt throughout the community.
Six children survive him, three of whom re- side at the homestead with their widowed mother: (1) Miss Miriam O. Fulkerson resides at home. (2) Benjamin J. received a collegiate education, and for sixteen years has been prac- ticing medicine, having located first in Tioga county, and afterward at Tyrone, Penn. He was married in 1887 to Miss Ida J. Alleman, of Gulich township, Clearfield county, and has three children-Catherine, Eleanor and Dan, who were born in Tioga county, and are all re- siding at home. (3) Elizabeth S. attended the local schools and the high school at Curwens- ville, and in 1881 married Luther Glasgow, a well-to-do farmer residing near Glasgow, Penn .; they have three children-Dan Fulkerson, Guy J. and Eleanor. (4) Adrianna C. married Dr. Clay McGee, a physician at Houcktown, Ohio. (5) HARDMAN E. attended the first public school of his township, and then a high school in Clar- ion county, Penn., and in 1891 entered a busi- ness college at Elmira, N. Y. (6) Clifford D. studied in the local schools and in the high school at Mansfield, Penn. At present he is looking after the home farm.
T HOMAS PARKS (deceased). . The subject of this sketch was one of the prominent and energetic farmers of Bradford township, Clearfield county, where he made his home from the year 1845, and therefore witnessed much of its development and progress, in which he bore an important part.
John K. Parks, father of our subject, was born in Huntingdon county, Penn., at Burnt Cabin, in 1798, of Scotch ancestry, and was a son of John and Katie Parks, who located there
at a very early day in its history. On both the paternal and maternal sides our subject is de- scended from good old Revolutionary stock, both grandfathers having aided the Colonies in secur- ing their independence. John Parks, Sr., was a blacksmith by trade, and also engaged in the manufacture of saddle trees. He erected the first brick shop in Bedford, Penn., where his death occurred. In Bedford, the father of our subject was reared, and learned the gunsmith's trade, at which he later worked in Blair county, but subsequently came to Clearfield county, tak- ing up his residence in Bradford township, in 1847. He died, however, in Boggs township, and there his wife also passed away. He was married in Huntingdon county, to Mary Parkin- son, and they became the parents of the follow- ing children: Daniel G. came to Bradford town- ship, but later removed to Kansas, where he or- ganized Montgomery county, and there died. Elizabeth married William Shaw, who died in Blair county, in 1846, and she passed away in Huntingdon county. Mary Jane is the wife of Jacob R. Codar, of Ohio .- George E. died in Centre county, Penn., in 1891. John a resident of Lawrence township, Clearfield county, was in the Union service during the Civil war. Thomas, our subject, is next in order of birth. Mrs. Margaret Celey died in Boggs township, Clearfield county. While a resident of Huntingdon county, the fa- ther of this family manufactured guns for the war of 1812, in which he participated, being on duty in Buffalo, New York.
Thomas Parks, our subject, was born in 1827, in Huntingdon county, Penn., and in 1835 he left home and commenced working on the canal, being connected therewith, and boating, for nine years. After that he came from Blair county (whither, in 1844. he had removed from Hunt- ingdon county) to Bradford township. Clearfield county, and located upon the farm where he still resides, which he bought of Joseph Logan, the second owner. It was wild woodland, but he soon cleared away the timber, and transformed it into highly cultivated fields. It is now a val- uable tract of one hundred acres which he has improved with good and substantial buildings, that stand as monuments to bis thrift and indus- try. Upon the place are also coal banks. In 1850, in Knox township, Clearfield county, Mr. Parks married Miss Nancy J. Wisor, who was born in Boggs township, a daughter of John and Elizabeth (Derrick) Wisor. Her parents spent their entire lives in Boggs township. Seven chil- dren were born to our subject and his estimable wife: James, who lives in Reedville, Clearfield county; Thomas, a resident of Woodland; Jacob

R., of Boggs township; John and George, of Bradford township; Sarah, who married Joseph Hull, and died November 26, 1892; and Eliza- beth, wife of John B. Davis, of Woodland. The father of this family passed from earth December 3. 1896; his widow still resides on the old home- stead.
Politically, Mr. Parks was identified with the Republican party, in the success of which he took a deep interest, and was a public-spirited, enterprising citizen, one who did all in his power to promote the interests and welfare of the com- munity. He was one of the leading and influen- tial men of the township, and enjoyed the esteem and confidence of all with whom he came in con- tact in the various relations of life. In the pos- session of the family is a spinning-wheel brought by his ancestors from Scotland.
W ILLIAM H. BRADY, a veteran of the Civil war, who died June IS, 1897, and was buried at Hegarty's Cross Roads, was uni- versally held in high esteem for his excellent qualities. He was actively identified with the business and political interests of the locality for a number of years, gaining hosts of friends throughout that region. A man of refined tastes and thorough culture, he was noted for his mus- ical ability, of which in former years he made professional use, having been employed for some time in early inanhood as a teacher of music in the public schools of Philadelphia. For three years he was niusical instructor in the Philadel- phia House of Refuge, then under the manage- ment of Thomas Kent Kane, a brother of the Arctic explorer, and father of Judge Kane, of the Philadelphia superior court.
Mr. Brady came of an excellent Irish family, his grandfather, George Brady, having been a manufacturer of linen goods at Belfast. Our subject, who was born in 1821, was a native of that city, as were also his parents, George and Mary (Alexander) Brady, who came to America in 1822, the growing trade in linen requiring a representative of the Belfast factory in this coun- try. The ship upon which they first sailed was wrecked in the Irish Channel, but George Brady, with his wife and babe, were rescued by a life- boat, and after a long delay arrived at Philadel- phia, where he died two years later from the effects of exposure on this trip; he left a widow and four children: (1) Jane died at the age of seventy-eight, unmarried; until her death she re- sided with her mother in Philadelphia, but after- ward the mother made her home with a son in Albany, N. Y., where she died in 1877. (2)
George grew to manhood at Philadelphia, learn- ing the trade of silver plating, and later became superintendent of that branch of work in the prison at Auburn, N. Y., where he remained eighteen years. He removed to Ohio, locating near Delaware, and he and his wife died there, leaving three children. One of their sons, Rob- ert, is now a dealer in coal and gasoline at Del- aware. (3) Eliza, who died in 1842, at the age of twenty-three, was not married. (4) Our subject completes the four children.
W. H. Brady's early life was spent in Phila- delphia, and when nine years old he began his business career in the store of John Stone, a silk merchant there. His fidelity and ability made his services valuable even at that age, and he re- mained with the firm until he attained his major- ity. when he was transferred to a branch store at Pittsburg, which Mr. Stone established at that time. After two years in this position he re- turned to Philadelphia to develop his remarkable musical talents, and as has been noted was em- ployed by the board of education and others to give instruction in the art. In 1861 he enlisted in Company E, 27th N. Y. V. I., under Gen. Slocum. He served until May, 1863, partici- pating in the second battle of Bull Run, August 30, 1862; and the engagements at Chantilly. September 1, 1862; South Mountain. September 14, 1862; Antietam, September 17, 1862; Fred- ericksburg, December 13, 1862; and Chancellors- ville, May 14, 1863. besides in a great many skirmishes. After receiving an honorable dis- charge at Elmira, N. Y., he came to Clearfield county to superintend the extensive lumber in- terests of Langdon & Dixon, of Elmira, in Boggs township. He held this position until the firm concluded their business in Clearfield county.
In 1867, Mr. Brady married Miss Rebecca Jane Dixon, a member of a pioneer family of Boggs township, and a daughter of Alexander and Tanier Dixon. After his marriage, Mr. Brady purchased one hundred acres of improved land in Boggs township, and engaged in agricul- ture. At the same time he contracted with the government to carry the mail between Jeffries and Clearfield, and for nine years he continued this work. In addition to these lines of busi- ness, he was employed by John Chase and oth- ers in estimating timber and scaling logs. In 1888 he sold his property in Boggs township, and removed to Chesterfield mines in Bigler township. He served as postmaster there for two years under Cleveland's first administration, and then resigned in favor of J. H. Steckman; retiring about seven years ago from active busi- ness of any sort. He was always a stanch Dem-

ocrat, and while residing in Boggs township held the office of township clerk for a number of years.
Eight children have blessed the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brady, who have given them the edu- cational advantages afforded by the common schools in the locality: (1) Elizabeth, born Au- gust 1, 1866, was married November 13, 1881, to William McConoway, of Karthaus, now a res- ident of Clearfield; they have three children- Effie, James and Mary. (2) Harry A., born September 2, 1868, resides in Clearfield, and is employed as a brakeman on a railroad; he was married April 11, 1894, to Miss Effie B. Bodle, of Becaria township, Clearfield county, and has one son, Clair, and one daughter, Andrie. (3) Ramona, born April 2, 1870, was married Janu- ary 16, 1888, to Lyman Ludington, of New York, who is now engaged in mining at Kerrmoor. Penn .: they have four children-John, Eva, Myrtle and Bertha. (4) William H., Jr., born April 4, 1872, is employed as a driver in the mines at Chesterfield; he was married April 6, 1893, to Miss Margaret Hughes, of Bigler town- ship, and has three children-Mary. Thurman and Irene. (5) John A., born August 4, 1874, (6) Samuel H., December 23, 1876, (7) Charles N., September 11, 1878, and Jane Odelia, Jan- uary 2, 1882, are all at home.
Mr. Brady always took a deep interest in the religious work of the community where he re- sided, and he and his wife were leading members of the Baptist Church.
M MARTIN LUTHER McQUOWN. The career of Hon. M. L. McQuown is an excellent example of what industry, perseverance, honesty and talent can, in this land of opportun- ity, accomplish, despite many early disadvan- tages.
Senator McQuown was born in Indiana coun- ty, Penn., January 18, 1853. His father and eldest brother having enlisted, at the breaking out of the war, his mother was left with a young family and very little with which to support them. After both had returned cripples by the results of the war, the family became separated, each one striving to earn a livelihood in some honest employment. Luther came to New Washing- ton, Clearfield county, in 1868, and began to be self-supporting by working on the farms, in the woods, and wherever he could find an opportunity to earn an honest dollar. In the intervals of his labors he found time to go to school, and was able to acquire the rudiments of a good educa- tion. During the summers of 1870 and 1871 an
academy was opened in the little town of New Washington, and the young man diligently at- tended its sessions. He was then old enough to appreciate the power of knowledge, and deter- mined that he himself should acquire it. He soon qualified as a teacher, and taught in the public schools of the county from 1871 to 1878. In the vacations he attended the Curwensville Normal School, and in every way sought to en- large his knowledge and to fit himself for busi- ness. His earnest devotion, his fidelity to duty, and his unfaltering industry attracted the atten- tion of all who knew him; and, although Clear- field county was then strongly Democratic in politics, he was elected superintendent of public schools on the 8th of May. 1878, and re-elected in 1881.
In the six years he served as county superin- tendent, his capacity, his energy, and his untiring activity were constantly conspicuous, and his du- ties were performed with universal approbation. He found time, moreover, to study law in the office of Murray & Gordon, and was admitted to the Clearfield Bar in 1884. He practiced for some years; but soon abandoned the law for more congenial occupations. During his con- stant tours of the county as superintendent of schools he had naturally formed a large acquaint- ance among all sorts and conditions of men. Having the useful faculty of remembering names and faces of individuals, he was led to take an interest in politics, and soon made himself useful in that field. His personal popularity, his per- fect knowledge of the people, their needs, condi- tions, and desires, qualified him to be a leader. In 1888, he was elected chairman of the Repub- lican County Committee, and re-elected for four successsive years.
He became, in 1890, editor and proprietor of the Raftsman's Journal, the leading Republican newspaper of the county, and has ably con- ducted it, making it the organ of the party, and. financially, the best paying newspaper in central Pennsylvania. For more than ten years Mr. McQuown has been actively engaged in politics. He early attached himself to the political fort- unes of Senator Quay, and has been known as one of the ablest of the Senator's lieutenants. In days gone by, when Clearfield county was known as anti-Quay, he alone upheld the Quay standard and fought a brave fight against over- whelming odds. In 1893 he conducted the campaign which resulted in the election to the Bench, by a majority of 350, of the Hon. Cyrus Gordon, the first Republican judge who ever sat in Clearfield county. In 1894 Mr. McQuown re- tired from the county chairmanship, and was

tendered the Republican nomination for State Senator in the 34th Senatorial District. He made an active campaign, and, the Democrats having divided their vote between two candi- dates, was successful by the unprecedented ma- jority of 4, 586.
In the State Senate Mr. McQuown has been a tireless and fearless advocate of the interests of the people. In his first session he was a lead- ing member of the Committee on Education and chairman of the Committee on Public Printing, and was instrumental in securing the passage of many important measures. He was appointed chairman of the Committee on Education at the opening of the session of 1897, and exerted him- self in behalf of needed improvements in our school laws. His eloquent advocacy of the bill abolishing the evil of children's insurance under the age of sixteen years, won him much praise, as did also the passage of a new road law which he fathered. In his relations to his constituents, he has been a model of courtesy, fair dealing and generous regard for their interests.
On Christmas Day, 1878, Mr. McQuown was married to Miss Virginia Flegal, the accomplished daughter of J. L. Flegal, of Goshen township, Clearfield county, Penn., who has in every way been a gracious helpmeet to him throughout his varied career. They now reside in Clearfield, and have been blessed with three children-two daughters and one son.
T RUMAN J. WALL (deceased) was one of the prominent lumbermen and farmers of Penn township, Clearfield county, and a repre- sentative of a worthy pioneer family of this sec- tion of the State, who assisted greatly in its de- velopment and prosperity. He was born April 17, 1849, a son of William and Sarah (Wall) Wall, the former of whom was born January 30, 1807, and the latter on March 27, 1810. The father was a native of Centre county, Penn., and on coming to Clearfield county purchased 107 acres of wild land, well covered with a heavy growth of pine and hardwood timber; but he cleared the place, made many valuable improve- ments thereon, transforming it into a fine farm. Later he purchased the George Hartshorn farm of eighty acres, which he partially improved. His wife shared with him all the hardships of pioneer life, and proved a most faithful heip- meet. He was accidentally killed on the Grain- pian road by his team running away on the 9th of October, 1878, and his wife passed away July 24, 1879.
Our subject was one of a family of nine chil-

On attaining to man's estate. Truman Wall was united in marriage with Lovenia Norris, of Pike township, Clearfield county, a daughter of John and Priscilla (Bloom) Norris, the former a native of Lawrence township, and the latter of Pike township, Clearfield county. The father. who was an honored pioneer of this region, bought a large farin in Pike township, which is now known as the old Norris farm, and became one of the leading citizens of the community, fill- ing the office of justice of the peace for twenty- one years, and also that of commissioner. He died on his farm in 18)4, after having survived his wife a number of years, her death having oc- curred in 1883.
In the Norris family were sixteen children, as follows: (1) Sarah married Thomas Moore, a captain in the Union army during the Civil war,
