General Notes: Husband - Ezekiel Gordon


He was born in Fairview, later called Montrose, O'Hara township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools of O'Hara township, of Kiskiminetas township, of Armstrong County, and of Harmarville, and when seventeen years of age left school and began to assist his father, who was a steamboat contractor. When he attained his majority, he secured a position as a steel melter with the Crescent steel company, of Pittsburgh, and continued with this company until 1891, when he removed to Whitehall, Allegheny County, and engaged in the hotel business. He prospered there until 1898, when he bought the hotel in Montrose formerly owned by his father, and conducted the same very successfully until January, 1903, when he disposed of it, and then began contracting on the river with his steamboat, the "Charles Turner."
