General Notes: Husband - William John Whan

Darlington, Beaver Co, PA

He remained on the home farm until of age, after which he followed various occupations. For seven years he was engaged in weighing the output of coal mines, and for three years was employed in the manufacture of lamp oil from cannel coal. After farming for five years in Darlington township and in Ohio, he bought, in 1885, a hotel, which he conducted for some years. He was extensively engaged in breeding Percheron Norman horses, and was the owner of a farm of 116 acres adjoining the Ohio line. He was past-master of Meridian Lodge, No. 411, F. & A. M., of which he was for more than twenty years a member. He served the township for some years as justice of the peace. Like his father he was a life-long Democrat.
He was an expert shot, and took a great interest in all sporting matters.
