General Notes: Husband - James B. North


He was reared at the family homestead in McCalmont township, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania. At the age of twenty-two he took charge of his father's farm; but after some years he became interested in buying and selling cattle, and from 1885 to 1890 his time was mainly devoted to that business and to lumbering. In 1890 he left the farm to the care of an employee and moved to Eleanor to clear a tract of 1,100 acres of timber for Edward Syphert and P. A. Hamilton. He continued to reside there, and engaged in teaming for the Eleanor Coal Company, keeping four teams employed, and he also did an extensive business in contracting and lumbering. He had the genial manner that would help any man to success in life, and was prominent socially as a member of the I. O. O. F., the Junior Order of Mechanics, and the Masonic fraternity. He also belonged to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, with which his family had long been identified. In political faith he was a Republican, and he served some years as school director and two years as supervisor. He owned a house and lot at Eleanor.
