General Notes: Husband - Joseph Reeves

---

He was born and reared in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. He received a common-school education, and learned carpentering which he followed for a few years. He then engaged in boat-building with his brother John on the Erie Canal, continuing in same until the building of the Pittsburgh & Fort Wayne railroad from Pittsburgh to Alliance, when he was appointed master mechanic for that road and its several branches, a position he held up to his death. The family were members of the Methodist church; politically they were Democrats.

He was a cabinet maker by trade, and had charge of the wood work department on bridge work for the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago Railway for several years. He ran the first train on the road, and was conductor of the same nearly twenty-five years.
