RESIDENCE:
Chautauqua, NY and North East, PA. He was among the earliest pioneers of North East. Stopping for a short rest at a little settlement of a few houses that is now Buffalo, he was offered a house and a lot in trade for his team. Thinking favorable of the deal, he went to inspect the property, but on finding the owner's wife desperately ill with "fever and ague" decided such a swampy location was no place for him and proceeded westward by what is now the Buffalo Road. Arriving at the State Line gulf he turned south to find timber land. At what is now known as Greenman Hill he bought a full quarter section of land. He cleared the land and built a house at the top of the hill, living in a log house near the NY-PA line until the new home was completed (have a picture of this house). It was a large house, having fireplaces in five of the rooms. This "Halfway House", as it was called, often accommodated travelers through the sparsely settled country. The house burned after 1936.
Job was buried in Grahamville Cemetery in North East, PA
