Biography

[edit]

In 1855, theGeneral Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania chartered the Farmer's High School. The school's trustees decided to build the school on 200 acres (0.81 km2) of Centre County land donated by Irvin. That Farmer's High School is nowPennsylvania State University. Irvin Hall, one of Penn State's oldest residential halls, is named in his honor.

Irvin died from a case of Smallpox in Hecla, Centre County, Pennsylvania, on November 28, 1862.[1] He is buried inUnion Cemetery inBellefonte, Pennsylvania.

TheOak Hall Historic District, associated with his dwelling inCollege Township, Pennsylvania, was added to theNational Register of Historic Places in 1977. Also on the Register is theMonroe Furnace, which he established in 1849. Though it is debated if the furnace was established by him independently or if the site for the furnace was developed for a man named "Caleb Quincy Shaffer".[2][3]
