General Notes: Husband - Clinton Darrow Shaner

---

He attended Clarion County schools; the Bowman Technical School, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania; and the Michigan State Auto School, in Detroit, Michigan. He worked on his great-uncle's farm for two years, and in 1906 applied for work as a fireman on the Pennsylvania Railroad. Later he was promoted to engineer, and served in that capacity until 1917, when he resigned with a perfect record. After Clinton Darrow Shaner left the railroad, in 1917, he went to the Bowman Technical School, in Lancaster, to study jewelry and watchmaking. He had been there only a year, however, when the United States entered the World War of 1917-18 and he interrupted his course to join the army. Enlisting at Washington, District of Columbia, Mr. Shaner was placed in the Ordnance Division, then transferred to the Chemical Warfare Service at Edgewood Arsenal in Maryland. While there, he served one month in the electrical division and finished his enlistment as an engi­neer in the railroad division. After three months he was given the rating of sergeant.
The war ended and Mr. Shaner returned to the Bowman Technical School, in Lancaster, where he finished his course. Then he was associated with his father in the jewelry business in Sharpsville for a year. In 1920 he attended the Michigan State Auto School for a year, but in 1921 returned to Sharpsville and bought his father's store, which was at that time situated at No. 130 Mercer Avenue. In 1934 he removed the establishment to No. 12 Walnut Street, where he bought the building in 1935. A Republican in politics, active in community affairs, Mr. Shaner belonged to many organizations in the valley-the Sharon Chamber of Commerce, the Sharon Stamp Club, the Sharpsville Service Club, the American Legion, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brother­hood of Railway Firemen. In the Free and Accepted Masons he was affiliated with the Knights Templar Com­mandery and the Sharon drill team of Knights Templar, charter member of New Castle Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite (in which he held the thirty-second degree), the Order of Eastern Star and the White Shrine of Jerusalem. He was a member of Syria Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in Pittsburgh. He was a trustee of the Presbyterian Church, in Sharps­ville, having so served since 1926, and was formerly president of the board of trustees.
