FRANCIS J. FLEMING, owns the Summit Farm, in Green township, Indiana county, where his parents settled in 1861 and members of this family have lived continously since. He was born there May 19, 1862, son of George H. and Eliza J. (O'Neil) Fleming and grandson of Francis J. Fleming. The grandfather came into Indiana county at an early day and made a settlement in Green township, living in what came to be known as the old Fleming farm near Cookport, where he remained until his death. His family consisted of eight children, of whom George H. was the eldest. Four of this family survive; William I., Robert F., Jane S., (wife of George Lutman) and Mary.

Francis J. Fleming received a public school education in Green township. From boyhood he has been engaged in farming, and he gradually assumed the care of the home place, upon his father's retirement taking over its entire cultivation and management. The property is a notably fine one, and he had kept it in the best condition, by his intelligent methods and systematic labors. He takes some part in the public affairs of the locality, having served as a member of the township school board.

Cook, who was born in Green township, daughter of Richard and Catherine (Dasher) Cook, the former deceased, the latter now living in Clearfield county.

(Mrs. Fleming), Charles, William (a resident of Clearfield county), Ellsworth (of Clearfield county), Mabel and Edward.
