WILLIAM CATHER, farmer, was born July 18, 1821, in Mercer county, Pennsylvania, son of John Cather, a native of Cecil county, Maryland. The latter was an early settler of Wolf Creek township, Mercer county, and one of the first school teachers of that locality. He was also at one time employed at the old furnaces in Scrubgrass township, Venango county. In 1831 he came to Springville, Victory township, and two years later took up a tract of three hundred and fifty acres of land. His death occurred in Ohio, and was the result of an accident in an iron mine. William Cather married Mary, daughter of John B. Smith, in 1873. They have had seven children, four of whom are living.
