General Notes: Husband - William Harvey Sheakley

---

He grew up in his native township of Mercer County, PA, receiving his education in the public schools and at Allegheny College, Meadville. After teaching a few years he began his law studies under Gen. Wilson, of Franklin, PA, and was there admitted to the bar in 1860. He returned to Sheakleyville, and in 1861 was admitted to practice at Mercer. In the fall of 1862 he was elected, on the Union ticket, district attorney, and took up his residence in Mercer, where he practiced for five years. In 1868 Mr. Sheakley opened an office in Greenville, where he followed his profession. He was always independent in politics; was a Democrat up to the war, then joined the Republican party; in 1872 supported Greely, and after that again affiliated with the Democratic party.
