General Notes: Husband - George Arnold Cochran


He was born in 1850. [TCHNCLC, 984] But this seems unlikely.

He was educated in the public schools of Neshannock Township, and after his father's death worked but at farming in that vicinity. Late in the nineteen-eighties he settled on the old home place, which consisted of 200 acres, and engaged in general farming. For some twelve years prior to 1907 he engaged in dairying on a large scale, conducting a milk route in New Castle, but he later made a specialty of small fruits, having some four acres in strawberries, blackberries and raspberries.
Politically, he was a Republican in national politics, but inclined to be independent locally. Religiously he was a liberal supporter of the Methodist Church.
