General Notes: Husband - Robert Hasley Swisshelm


He was reared in Penn and Patton townships, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, receiving his education in local schools. Until the age of twenty-nine he worked on his father's farm, and he then moved to a neighboring farm which he rented and cultivated for the next three years. At the end of that time he removed to Penn township, where he hired another farm and continued to cultivate the soil for about twelve years longer. In 1891 he moved to Wilkinsburg and engaged in the hauling and express business. He had in his service nine or more men, with eighteen head of horses. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of Wilkinsburg.
