General Notes: Husband - John C. Say

---

He was reared from infancy in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, and there he first engaged in business, becoming early inter­ested in lumber. For about twenty years he engaged in buying timber tracts in Clar­ion and Forest Counties and manufactured lumber, and after retiring from that in­dustry conducted a store at Tylersburg for six years, and then came to Butler. For four years he carried on a retail lumber business, but thereafter he devoted his attention to dealing in real estate, almost entirely handling his own property. He was an important fac­tor in improving the city, in the way of putting out trees, constructing sidewalks and clearing unsightly places, together with erecting high class houses, one ex­ample being the Monroe Hotel. He was the organizer of the East Oakland Land Company, which purchased the St. Paul's Orphan Home property, a tract of forty acres, on which the company built fine brick residences of modern style and equipments. After its organization, he was general manager, secretary and treas­urer. As a citizen he was very active and served usefully on the city council. [HBC 1909, 981]
