William Wiley    

WILLIAM WILEY, farmer, P.O. Crossingville, was born October 25, 1825, in Fryeburg, Oxford Co., Me. His parents, Hamilton and Malvina Wiley, now live at that place, having spent but one year in this county, while on a visit to their son. Our subject while a young man came to Cambria County, Penn., where he was engaged several years making staves for the West India market. While there he married Miss Harriet Langdon, October 14, 1854. In April of the following year he located at Crossingville, this county, and established a shook factory, which he carried on until 1858, when he sold out and spent three years in the State of Maine. He finally returned to this county, purchased a farm, and settled in Cussewago Township, in 1861, where he still resides. Here, by industry and good management, with the assistance of his worthy wife, he has acquired a fine farm of 150 acres of well-improved land. To Mr. and Mrs. Wiley have been born three children: Hamilton, married to Miss Eva L. McCamman; Mary M., and Hattie O. The son now carries on the farm, and the two daughters, having made thorough preparation for the profession of teaching, are now very successfully engaged in that vocation in the schools of this county. Mr. Wiley is independent in his political views, always aiming to support the best men and principles. He is a citizen of upright integrity and enjoys the highest respect of the entire community.
