General Notes: Husband - James Dallas Hoon

---

He spent his boyhood days on his father's farm in Butler County, Pennsylvania, where he learned the carpenter's trade, and in 1865, in the last year of the Civil War, enlisted in Co. I, 78th Pa. Reg., under Capt. Boggs and served until September of that same year. After the close of the war he was stationed a short time at Nashville, Tennessee, then went to Ohio, where he first located at Warren and followed carpenter work and subsequently settled in Cleveland, where later he entered the employ of the National Milling Company, and in the second year was made head miller. He also operated a mill at Minerva, Ohio, for three years and in 1889 came to Monongahela City, Pennsylvania, where for one year he had charge of the mill for George & Co. Then, in partnership with J. B. Hayward he rented and operated for 18 years the mill owned by George & Co., and when the railroad bought the property from the mill owners, he embarked in the insurance and real estate business, opening an office in the Alexander Bank Building. He and Mr. Hayward also operated a coal mine near the Driving Park, where they owned a tract of 35 acres. He later purchased his partner's interest in that business, and had the land laid out in lots. He was president of the Standard Real Estate Company of Donora, Washington County, was interested in oil lands in Butler County and owned stock in other enterprises of the locality.
He and his family held membership with the Baptist Church in which he was a deacon. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., Jr. O. U. A. M., Royal Arcanum and the G. A. R., Stark Weather Post No. 60, of Monongahela City, of which he was quartermaster. He was a Democrat in politics and served in the city council.
