General Notes: Husband - George Vance Harsha


He remained on the farm until after the death of hie father, and went to the country schools. When about thirteen years old he accompanied his mother to Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, and later was engaged in the produce business for some years and then became a manufacturer of blankets, an industry he carried on until in February, 1887, when his place was destroyed by fire. Following this he devoted his attention largely to handling and improving real estate. In 1896 he erected the handsome three-story brick building at Canonsburg, known as the Harsha Block, which was fitted up for stores and offices.
