General Notes: Husband - John T. McLaughlin
He was educated in the township public schools, and at Elders’ Ridge Academy. On leaving school he at once assumed the management of his father’s farm, and there he passed his life as an active worker until 1890 when he retired in favor of his son Frank T. During this time he had bought the western half of the farm, one hundred and six acres, married, and erected in 1865 a substantial two story brick farm house and other modern improvements necessary to farming successfully. The eastern half of the farm, one hundred and four acres, was operated by another son, Harry J. From 1890 until 1901, John T. remained on the farm, and during this period filled many positions of trust, settling satisfactorily twelve estates and acting as guardian for nineteen minor children. He retired completely from active business life in 1901, and at No. 622 Welden Street, Latrobe, erected a comfortable and tasteful city home. He became a member of Unity Presbyterian church at the age of twenty-one, and for thirty-five years has been an elder, as was his father before him. He was also a senior elder of the church. Politically he was a Republican, and loved his party so well that he helped administer the rod of correction when the principles of the party were departed from. However he never an aspirant for public office, and took no part in public political life.
