General Notes: Husband - James Pryor

---

He received a common school education, and followed farming down to 1876, when he embarked in merchandising at St. Joe, but removed to West Sunbury the fol­lowing year. He carried on a general store in that borough until 1886, then sold out and established a hardware store, which he conducted successfully. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of West Sunbury, filled all of the offices in that body, and was an elder. In politics, he was an ardent Republican, was justice of the peace for nine years, and held all the other township offices excepting supervisor.
