General Notes: Husband - James Harton Shumaker

---

He received a sound, practical education in the public schools, and then commenced the practical study of dentistry under the preceptorship of his uncle, a well known dentist. He commenced practicing his profession at an unusually early age, and displayed a remarkable proficiency from the very beginning of his professional career. For a time he practiced as the assistant of Dr. Spencer, of Pittsburgh, then in the same capacity for Dr. Scott, also of Pittsburgh. About two years were then spent in various cities of the South and West, among them being: Cincinnati, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; St. Paul, Minnesota; St. Louis, Missouri; Kansas City, Kansas; Denver, Colorado; New Orleans, Louisiana; Cairo, Illinois; Nashville, Tennessee; and Louisville, Kentucky. Upon his return to Beaver, he established himself in the practice of his profession, and continued in it until 1898. He then visited Nashville, Tennessee; and Charleston and Ravenswood, West Virginia. He then spent a short time in Vanport, Pennsylvania, after which he established himself in Beaver Falls, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
Originally he gave his political support to the principles of the Republican party, but later prefered to form his opinions without reference to party ties. His fraternal affiliation was with the Knights of Pythias.
