General Notes: Husband - James M. Work

---

He was reared on a farm, received a good, practical education and taught school for five years. At fifteen years of age he learned barn-building, but was principally engaged in farming until 1871, although he devoted a portion of each winter to lumbering. In the last-named year he came to Marion, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where he embarked in the manufacture of furniture and window blinds. After seventeen years of successful experience as a manufacturer he disposed of his factory and engaged in the undertaking business. In 1874 he was elected as county commissioner and served his term. In 1875 he was appointed to fill out an unexpired term as justice of the peace, and subsequently was elected to that office at least three times in succession.

In 1863 he enlisted in a regiment of Pennsylvania Militia, and served on the southern border of the state. He was a member of the Mahoning United Presbyterian church.
Squire Work carefully studied the principles as well as the practice of law, and while an expert in drawing up legal documents in correct form, was also recognized as an authority in his section upon points of law.
