General Notes: Husband - James Scott Beckwith

---

He was brought up by an uncle and his aunt, Margaret Scott, and his education was acquired in the common schools of that period. As a young man he was engaged in the occupation of teaming at Conestoga, and frequently made the long journey between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Later he embarked in the general merchandise business, and still later in the hotel business, at one time conducting the Rising Sun House, an historical inn at Bedford, Pennsylvania. He removed to Latrobe, Westmoreland County, in 1863, where he was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as ticket agent for a period of several years, and then returned to the hotel business, with which he was connected until 1870, when he retired into private life.
