W.H. Eynon
W. H. EYNON, farmer and justice of the peace of Brady�s Bend township, is
one of the substantial citizens of his section of Armstrong county. He was
born in South Wales, May 28, 1847, son of John and Catherine Eynon, both of
whom died in South Wales, where W. H. Eynon was reared and educated.In 1868 Mr. Eynon came to the United States by himself, the trip taking
eleven days, and landed in New York City, whence he went West, to Illinois and
Iowa, where he engaged in farming. Later he returned East, and coming to
Pennsylvania settled on his present property of twenty-two acres, located a
half mile west of Kaylor on the Butler, Brady�s Bend, Chicora road, in Brady�s
Bend township. It was formerly owned by Lewis Barnhart, from whom Mr. Eynon
purchased it. He has made all the existing improvements upon this farm, and
has a valuable place. For sixteen years he was also engaged in mining coal and
ore.Mr. Eynon married Sarah Barnhart, a daughter of the late John and Susan
Barnhart, residents of Brady�s Bend township. Mr. and Mrs. Eynon have had
the following children: Ethel, who is at home; Myrtle, wife of Samuel P.
Hillwig, of Brady�s Bend township; William J., who died when seven months
old; and Harry Roland, who died at the age of eight years.A Republican politically, Mr. Eynon has served as auditor of Brady�s Bend
township for eighteen years, and has been health officer of his locality since
the creation of that office. The Baptist Church holds his membership and he is
held in high respect in that congregation, as he is elsewhere, for he is a man
of sterling integrity and excellent worth.Source: Page 929, Armstrong County, Pa., Her People, Past and
