General Notes: Husband - Eli E. Yoho


He attended the district schools until he was nine years old and after that went to school in Chewton, Pennsylvania. When the time came for him to choose a life occupation, his inclinations did not lead him to either adopt his father's trade of stone-mason, or to engage in agricultural pursuits. When he was twenty-one years old he entered upon railroad work, first with the Pennsylvania Railroad, going from that system to the Pittsburg & Western and later was made yardmaster at Sharpsville for the Baltimore & Ohio line. He was then located at Omaha, later Sioux City, Iowa, and was connected with the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad until 1886, when he entered the service of the Lake Division of the Pittsburg & Western, still later going on the main line of this road. He continued in railroad work until 1893. For a few years he lived in Chewton and then moved onto a farm, which was a part of his maternal grandfather's farm, the same on which he was born. Together with his sisters he owned thirty-three acres there, which he cultivated and he rented thirty-two additional acres for farming purposes.
He was a member of the Slippery Rock Presbyterian Church. In politics he was identified with the Democratic party. For a number of years he was a member of Wampum Lodge, No 865, Odd Fellows, at Wampum.
