General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Bolton

---

He was educated in the public schools, and spent his youth and early manhood engaged in his father's business and in varied pursuits, but from the organization of the Irwin-Herminie Traction Company, he was its efficient president. This road was peculiar among traction lines, being a purely local one, paid for from bonafide stock sales without the addition of water, filled a local need, was run economically, and returned a fair profit to the stockholders. All the stock subscriptions were taken in Irwin and vicinity, and from its beginning Mr. Bolton was president of the company and manager of the road. He was an able business man, broadminded and progressive, not afraid to lead where his judgment dictated, a man of fine personality, and friendly manner. Like his father, Mr. Bolton was a devoted churchman connected with the United Brethren church of Herminie and superintendent of the Sunday school. He was a member of Westmoreland Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Greensburg, and held the thirty-two degrees of Williamsport Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. He was also a Knight of Malta.

He was educated in the common schools of his birthplace; at the age of fourteen he took charge of his father's books and became his assistant in the butcher business, and at twenty-one years his father took him into partnership. In 1895 he severed his business relation with his father as a partner, but was employed by him for two more years, during which time he was engaged in building houses at Hermine. In 1897 he went into the butcher business at Herminie, in company with A. H. Plough, under the firm title of Bolton and Plough. Two years later Mr. Plough's interest was purchased by Frank Bolton, and the firm for two years did business under the title of C. H. Bolton and Bro. In 1901 Charles H. bought his brother's interest and then conducted the business alone. In addition to this he was connected with C. A. Thompson in the real estate business, at Irwin; owned a three-fourth interest in nine residence properties and forty building lots in Herminie; had a one-half interest in the Scott farm in Washington county, Pennsylvania; one-third interest in an oil farm in Washington county, on which there were six producing wells; was the president and organizer of the C. H. Bolton Sand Company of Irwin and McKeesport. He received his appointment as postmaster in 1902, during the administration of President McKinley.
He was a member of the Modern Woodmen of America, and of Westmoreland Lodge, No. 518, Free and Accepted Masons of Greensburg.
