Biography of Charles Anderson McFeaters
"Charles Anderson McFeaters attended the local public schools and grew up on
the farm, working with his father, and has been farming all his life in his native
township. He now operates the south part of the homestead farm, having a tract of
fifty-seven acres, devoted to general crops, though he makes a specialty of fruit
culture. He is one of the most highly respected citizens of his locality and has
taken considerable interest in public affairs, having served his township as register
of voters, assessor, school director and enumerator of school district No. 1. In
political association he is a Republican.
Mr. and Mrs. McFeaters are members of the Presbyterian Church at Armagh, both have
been active in the work of that church, Mr. McFeaters serving as trustee. From early
womanhood Mrs. McFeaters has given much of her time to evangelical work, and for
eight years was a member of the Pentecost Band, religious workers, who had headquarters
at Indianapolis, Ind. They did missionary work in many parts of the country, including
Pennsylvania, where she met Mr. McFeaters. Mrs. McFeaters is a teacher in the Sunday
school of the Armagh Presbyterian Church and a member of the Ladies' Aid Society,
and does everything within her power to advance the work of the church in every line.
In fact, she is a friend of all good movements, being a woman of broad intelligence,
interested in the welfare of her fellow beings everywhere. She and her husband have
cooperated failfully in all of their interests. Mr. McFeaters is a member of the
Jr. O. U. A. M., and was formerly associated with the council at Armagh."
