General Notes: Husband - Robert Jackson Fleming

---

He received an academical education, and while yet a young man became a teacher and lecturer on English grammar and on music, and took a trip to the then West, lecturing on his favorite topic. In 1834 he established the coach-making business on an extensive scale at Harrisburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, and continued it with success until his entire establishment was destroyed by fire June 15, 1865. He did not resume it. He built at his shop the first eight-wheel passenger-car which ran on the Pennsylvania Railroad, between Columbia and Philadelphia, also the first on the Williamsport and Elmira Railroad, taking it up the canal on a flat-boat. He was appointed notary public in 1861, and held the office until his death, for years doing the business of the Harrisburg National Bank in this official capacity. He died at Harrisburg, in the seventy-second year of his age. He was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian Church and was one of its elders for twenty years.
