General Notes: Husband - William Webber Yoho

Wampum, Big Beaver Twp, Lawrence Co, PA

He was two years of age when his parents moved from the Wilson farm in Wayne Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, to Chewton, and there he received a very limited training in the public schools. At the early age of eleven years he began work, his first position being with the Kirkland & Allen sawmill. He continued with them until he was twenty-one years old, then worked in the blacksmith shop of George Hennon for one year and eleven months. He next worked eight months for C. W. Cook in the Tatter's blacksmith establishment at New Castle, and eighteen months in that of John Parker at Hazel Dell, after which he located at Wampum. He there formed a partnership with Frank Morrow, under the firm name of Morrow & Yoho, and after six years of successful association Mr. Yoho withdrew from the firm and built his own shop. He did general blacksmith work, horseshoeing and repairing, and met with gratifying success.
Fraternally, he was a member of the Knights of Pythias; Order of Odd Fellows; Woodmen of the World; and Master Horseshoers' Association, No. 172. He was a Democrat in politics, and was a member of the School Board. Mr. Yoho, in addition to his shop and residence in Wampum, was the owner of property in Ellwood City.
