General Notes: Husband - Simon Shoop
He was educated in the local schools, and passed his childhood there, learning, as he grew older, the trade of tailor under the tutelage of his father. In the year 1862 he enlisted in Thompson's Battery, and served for three years in the Civil War, during which time he was wounded. After the close of the war he returned to Freeport, Pennsylvania, and there engaged in publishing the Freeport New Era. In this work several of his sons were associated with him, all in the capacity of printers. Mr. Shoop's affiliations were with the Democratic party, of the principles of which he was a staunch upholder. In the year 1880 he and his family removed to Sewickley, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and there Mr. Shoop engaged in a tin business with his son George H. He was a prominent man in the community, a member of the Heptasophs of Sewickley, and of the Post No. 3, Grand Army of the Republic.
