General Notes: Husband - Fred M. Seanor


He was educated in the Latrobe and Greensburg public schools, and at Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania. Upon coming of legal age, in 1906, he became his father's business associate in the lumber business in Greensburg. He added to this industry a line of farm implements, wagons, carriages, etc., and until 1910 successfully operated the business, continuing it alone for two years after his father's death. He then disposed of his interests and entered the automobile field as agent for the "White Gas Cars" in Westmoreland County, and later, for two years, he was agent for the "Pope-Hartford Car." In April, 1915, he accepted the agency for the "Haynes Car," organized the Seanor Motor Car Company, and erected a garage at No. 405 West Otterman street, which had a capacity for seventy-five cars. In addition to the "Haynes Car" he handled the "Republic Truck" and a full line of automobile accessories, maintaining a repair department with mechanics for every form of service. The garage was a handsome five-story brick structure known as the Seanor Building, its upper stories divided into modern and tasteful apartments, the finest building of its class in the city. Mr. Seanor was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, and a Republican in politics.
