General Notes: Husband - Thomas Thorett Meredith


He was reared in Madison township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the common schools there. He began his business career as clerk in his father's store, and after the death of the latter, in 1882, took charge of the business until he attained his majority. He then entered into partnership with his mother and the business was conducted under the firm name of Mrs. M. Meredith & Son until 1893, when he purchased the interest of his mother and conducted the business alone. Up to this time the business was an ordinary country store, but Mr. Meredith at once began to enlarge it, making improvements as his patronage increased until he had the largest store of his kind in the country outside of Kittanning. He also conducted an undertaking business beginning in 1897.
He and his wife were members of the Reformed Church. He was a thirty-second-degree Mason, and a member of the Consistory of the Valley of Coudersport, Pennsylvania, also Widnoon Lodge, No. 1139, I. O. O. F. Mr. Meredith served as postmaster of Widnoon beginning in 1885. He was a Republican in political sentiment.
