A.B. GRIFFITH has been a resident of Cherryhill township, Indiana county, for the last fifteen years, and is a prosperous farmer of his district. He is a native of Green township, this county, born Nov. 16, 1851, son of Samuel and Margaret (Brown) Griffith. Isaac Griffith, his great-grandfather, was an early settler in the county, where he followed farming and milling. He built the first mill in Indiana county and carried it on for ten years, preparing the lumber for the first courthouse erected at Indiana. His son Evan Griffith, grandfather of A. B. Griffith, came to this region from York county, Pa., and settled in Green township, Indiana county, where he was engaged in farming for many years.

Samuel Griffith, father of A. B. Griffith, was born in Brushvalley township, Indiana county, and followed farming throughout his active years. His old home place was in Green township. When he sold the farm there he moved to Indiana, the county seat, where he resided until his death, in September, 1901. He married Margaret Brown, who was born in Bedford county. Pa., and who died on the old homestead in 1885. They had nine children, namely: Jemima, who is deceased; A. B.; Elizabeth, who died young; Sarah Jane, deceased; Matthew, deceased, Mary, widow of John Ray, of Homer City, this county; Martha, wife of John F. McCandless, of Butler county, Pa.; Evan, of Homer City; with Benjamin deceased.

A.B. Griffith passed his early days on the old home farm in Green township and obtained his education in the public schools of the Vicinity. He has made farming his life work, and in 1897 settled at his present place in Cherryhill township, purchasing this property. He is a first-class farmer, one who keeps abreast of the times in his ideas about the management of his work and the methods he follows, and his success justifies the plans he has adopted.

On March 15, 1894, Mr. Griffith was married at Indiana to Amanda Brown, who was born in Cherryhill township, daughter of George D. and Elizabeth (DeArmand) Brown, farming people, who settled in Indiana county many years ago. Mr. Brown died July 11, 1910, and his widow now lives at Penn Run, in Cherryhill township. Mr. and Mrs. Griffith have no children. They are members of the Baptist Church at Pineflats.

But 'tis God who hath bereft us,

He can all our sorrows heal.
