  W. N. LATHEROW, Aughwick Mills, Huntingdon county, Pa., is a native 
of Shirley township, Huntingdon county, a son of Samuel and Jane (Huse) 
Latherow. Samuel Latherow was also a native of this county; he was 
twice married. By the first union he had two children, both deceased. 
The first wife having died, Jane Huse became Mr. Latherow's second 
wife; she was a native of Mifflin county, Pa. Samuel Latherow had in 
his earlier life been a charcoal burner; this business he abandoned for 
farming, and continued the remainder for farming, and continued the 
remainder of his days in that calling. The children of this second 
marriage are: David; Samuel; Ellen (Mrs. Isaac Forshey); Frank; John; 
Maggie; Lizzie (Mrs. George Kelley); and William. Besides these, there

three; he was a member of the Methodist church. Mrs. Latherow resides 
with her daughter, Mrs. Kelley.
  Mr. W. N. Latherow attended the common schools of Shirley township 
until he had nearly reached his majority. He then became occupied in 
farming, and for one winter, in lumbering, near Coudersport, Potter 
county, Pa. He has since continued farming, and added lime-burning to 
his agricultural pursuits. He takes an interest in township affairs; 
was elected supervisor of Shirley township in 1893, and served one 
year. He is a member of the Shirleysburg Grange.
  W. N. Latherow was married April 20, 1893, to Mary, daughter of 
Christian and Hannah (Besore) Price. Her father was all his life a 
farmer. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Price now living are: Ross; David; 
Mary (Mrs. Latherow); and Laura (Mrs. Elmer Foster). Mr. Price died in 
1895, aged seventy-two; Mrs. Price is living, in excellent health, and
