General Notes: Husband - John W. Elder

---

He was educated in the public schools of Chambersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. When he was twenty years old he accepted a position in the postoffice at Philadelphia, but after a few months he resigned to become agent for the Adams Express Company in Chambersburg. He held this position for seven years. In 1875 he embarked in the grocery business, in which he was engaged until his death. After 1880 he was extensively interested in the purchase and shipment of hay from various sections of the country. He was also in active business in other lines. He bought and sold as much as one hundred thousand pounds of wool per year, and was an extensive purchaser of produce, especially potatoes, in the west, shipping them to Chambersburg by the carload and disposing of them in the home market.
