General Notes: Husband - Henry W. Stokey

---

He was educated in the common schools, and always followed farming and hotel keeping. In 1881 he became proprietor of the Central Hotel at Evans City, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and afterwards purchased the Stokey House, in the same place, and conducted it until 1888. In that year he removed to Zelienople, and shortly afterwards purchased the Bastian House, which he rebuilt and named the Grand Central.
He and wife were adherents of the German Lutheran church. Politically, he was a Democrat. He was a member of Harmony Lodge, F. & A. M. [HBC 1895, 1089]

He spent his early boyhood days on his father's farm and attended the common schools of Evans City, Pennsylvania. In the autumn of 1881 he engaged in the hotel business and purchased what was known as the Duncan House, buying it shortly after the erection of the building. This he conducted with much success until the autumn of 1884 and then purchased a hotel that Mr. Duncan had later erected and this he called the Stokey House. He conducted this until 1888 and in the following year purchased a hotel located on the corner of Main and New Castle Street. This was destroyed by fire in 1903 and the same year he erected the New Hotel Stokey, which was larger and up to date in every particular, having all the modern conveniences. It had fifty well appointed rooms and was recognized in that portion of the state as the leading hotel between Pittsburgh and New Castle west of Butler. Mr. Stokey was engaged in the hotel business beginning in 1881, having previous to entering the business for himself, acted as manager for his father for a number of years. [TCHBC, 637]
