General Notes: Husband - Robert Barron

---

He came to the United States when seventeen years of age, worked for a short time on a railroad at Albany, New York, and then came to the home of his grandmother, Susan Gibson, of Worth township, Butler County. Here he remained for two years, working on a farm in summer and attending school in winter. He afterwards learned the plasterer's trade, and worked at it until 1872. In 1860 he bought 100 acres of land on which he later resided, sent for his mother and her husband, and gave them a home during their declining years. He added to his farm from time to time until he now owned 250 acres.
In 1872 Mr. Barron was elected, on the Republican ticket, to the office of county commissioner, and re-elected in 1875. During this time he purchased the Willard Hotel, conducted it for a short time, and subsequently sold it. For many years he was prominent in the local councils of his party, and filled nearly all the township offices. In March, 1885, he served as foreman of the grand jury in the United States district court at Scranton. Mr. Barron became vice-president of the Worth Mutual Fire Insurance Company, filled the office of president of the company for two years, and also served on the board of directors. He was an elder in the Slippery Rock United Presbyterian church for twenty-five years, and for two years has filled the same office in the West Liberty United Presbyterian church.
