General Notes: Husband - John Q. Cochrane

---

He attended the common schools and Dayton academy, after which he taught a few months and then pursued a course of study at Ann Arbor university, Michigan. In addition to his literary studies there he also entered the law department, in which he remained for one year. At the end of this time he entered the law office of M. G. McCaslin, of Butler, Pennsylvania, where he completed the required course of legal study, and was admitted to the bar of that place in 1874. After admission, he practiced law for two years at Millerstown and at Butler, for one year. He then went to Pittsburgh, where he became a partner for one year with Webster Street in the law business. At the end of that time he went to Parkersburg, West Virginia, where he spent two years as an oil-well contractor and oil producer. He was then engaged for one year as a traveling salesman of heavy oils for the Commercial Oil company, of Parkersburg. Leaving their employ, he became manager of the celebrated Brush Electric Light company, of Pittsburgh. Six months later (fall of 1882) he accepted the principalship of the public schools of West Monterey, Pennsylvania. In 1884 he was elected to the principalship of the Apollo public schools. He was a member of the firm of Cochrane Bros., railroad and steamship ticket agents. This agency represented the leading railways and principal steamship lines.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church. He was always a republican, and was elected justice of the peace in 1887, for the borough of Apollo.
