General Notes: Husband - Harry F. Seanor
At five years of age he was brought by his parents from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Salem township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools and was engaged in farming until he was twenty-two years of age. He then became a traveling salesman for an agricultural implement house and remained with them for four years. In 1886 he removed to Latrobe where he engaged in the agricultural implement, hay and feed business, but in 1889 was compelled to drop the last named business on account of the increase of his trade in agricultural implements. He had the largest establishment of its kind in Latrobe, if not in the county, which was heavily stocked with reapers, mowers, hay rakes, sulky plows, improved harrows, corn planters and grain drills. He next entered into partnership with Mr. Bierer, the firm name being Seanor & Bierer. He was a regular attendant upon the services of the Presbyterian church. He was a republican, an energetic and successful business man and a member of the Royal Arcanum.
He was the Republican candidate for sheriff in 1895, against his wishes, and was elected at the November polls, the first Republican sheriff ever elected in the county. After his term of office as sheriff expired, he never sought political preferment, but he was importuned to run for Congress, in 1900, receiving the nomination in his own county, but was defeated by the system of that day.
After his term of office as sheriff expired, he opened up a large agricultural store in Greensburg, also engaging extensively in the lumber business, purchasing large tracts of timber in all parts of Wesmoreland and Indiana counties, erecting saw mills wherein he manufactured large quantities of lumber which he marketed at that time to great advantage. He was associated in the lumber business with Justice John P. Elkin and others in Mexico.
Though unusually strong physically, of apparent great strength, accustomed to outdoor work, late in 1907, he showed signs of a physical breakdown. Everything possible was done to save him by the physicians of Philadelphia and Atlantic City, he spending the winter months of 1907 and 1908 in the latter named city, but their efforts were unavailing.
