General Notes: Husband - Stevenson Cassidy Beissinger


He was born in the log house on his father's old farm in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and there lived until the age of sixteen years. He obtained the elementary portion of his education in the local public schools, and later attended the Sewickley Academy, studying there under the direction of Professor Anderson. He secured employment as a telegraph operator and later removed to Nebraska where he was appointed clerk in the Government School for Indians at Genoa in that state. He also took up a homestead there and went into stock raising. In 1894, however, he returned to Sewickley, Pennsylvania, having prospered to such an extent that he has been able to live retired after that time. But though no longer engaged in business, he was active in matters of public concern, and was prominent in fraternal circles. He was a Republican in politics, and served his fellow citizens in the capacity of school director. He was a member of the Masonic Order and of the Knights of Pythias, having entered both these organizations when in Genoa, Nebraska. He and his wife were members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
