General Notes: Husband - Andrew Yont


He attended school in the district of East Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, until 1861, the year of his mother's death. After her death he became a clerk in a dry goods store in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. He so rapidly imbibed the principles of merchandising that two years later, at the age of seventeen years, he was made manager of the J. A. Gault & Company's store in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. He remained with that company four years. Having reached legal age, he began business under his own name in McKeesport, Pennsylvania. In 1868 he engaged in the commission business on Market street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but before he was fairly established his health became so impaired that he was obliged to seek a different climate. He located in Champlain, Minnesota, but at the early age of twenty-three years his promising career terminated.


General Notes: Wife - Marietta Null


At one time she was regent and registrar of Phoebe Bayard Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution.
