General Notes: Husband - Smith Whitworth

---

He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, but came to Apollo, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, in the year 1840. He was first engaged in the mercantile business on an extensive scale. [BHCWC, 560]

He was two years old when he came to America with his parents in 1812. He was educated at Baltimore, Maryland. About 1840 he came to Apollo, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he was extensively engaged in the boating business for some years. He then turned his attention to the manufacture of flour and the mercantile business, and in 1858 became a member of the firm of Cass, McClintock & Co., who purchased the works of the Kiskiminetas Iron Company and manufactured nails and iron for several years. In 1885 Mr. Whitworth retired from active business life, and he died at Apollo in 1893. He was a stanch Republican and a strong temperance man. He never would accept any office except that of school director, which he held for many years. His business life was a very successful one, and he continued his interest in commercial matters throughout his life. He was a great reader, had at retentive memory, was well versed in history and literature, and followed closely the current news of the day. He was one of the oldest members of the Apollo Lodge No. 437, F. & A. M., in which he took a deep interest. [HAC 1914, 427]

He was a native of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania. [PAH, 114]
