General Notes: Husband - Charles E. Shoup


He was reared in Venango County, PA, and educated in the Franklin public schools. Having become pro­ficient in telegraphy, he accepted a position at Scrubgrass on the Allegheny Valley railroad in 1874. He was assigned to the Franklin office, a much more responsible position, within a brief period, and continued in the em­ploy of this company ten years, when he resigned to accept a situation at Franklin with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern railroad. He had charge of the telegraph department of the Franklin office three years, and at the expiration of that period was made chief clerk in the freight office. Politically Mr. Shoup is a Republican; in November, 1887, he was elected county treasurer, and in this responsible capacity is recognized as a capable and courteous official. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., K. of P., and B. P. O. E., and the family affil­iates with the Methodist Episcopal church. [HVC 1890, 820]
