General Notes: Husband - James Humes

---

He was by occupation a farmer and a democrat all his life until the Civil War, when he voted partly with the republicans.

After their marriage he and his second wife located on the second farm below Bull creek, in what later became Tarentum borough. They, however, sold that farm and purchased a place on the hill-side above the creek, where they both died.

After the death of his first wife, he moved to Allegheny County and settled to the south of West Tarentum.
He was a farmer by occupation, and had the good fortune to discover coal banks on his property, just below the Tarentum borough line.
