General Notes: Husband - William Jack


He was educated in the common schools and the Mercer Academy. He began to learn the tailor’s trade when thirteen years of age, with his brother-in-law, James Such, and finally finished his trade with A. J. Greer. He then bought the business of A. J. Greer, and continued to conduct it until the breaking out of the war, when he enlisted in Company A, One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served in the Sixth Corps for about three years. He participated in the battles of Fredericksburg, Antietam, Cold Harbor, Spottsylvania and the Wilderness. On his return from the war he resumed his trade, having his shop at his residence. He was afterward employed by John Braden and Thomas Conley as a cutter. He continued to hold this position with the change of the business from these men to George Gillett. He finally bought out the last named gentleman, and in two years purchased the interest of Byers & Miller, with whom he had been engaged in partnership. He was elected county clerk in 1885. He was a member of the town council and school director. He always took a deep interest in the Republican party, having cast his first presidential vote for Fremont. He was a member of the A. O. U. W., and with his wife and children belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
