General Notes: Husband - John Hurst


He was reared on his father's farm, educated in the common schools, and followed farming until his removal to Scottdale, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1882. Here he established a mercantile business, which was later taken charge of by his sons, William and Harry R., who conducted the same for a time and then disposed of it to outside parties. During this time, however, he was employed at the trade of carpenter, which he followed for several years. In 1903 he erected a fine pressed straw colored brick block, one of the finest in the borough of Scottdale, at the corner of Pittston and Hickory streets, in which his son Harry R. established a dry goods store on the first floor and rear of the second floor, and the front part of the second floor was occupied by Mr. Hurst and family as a residence, and the third floor was divided into apartments for residential purposes.
He was a member of the school board of the borough for six years. He was a member of the Presbyterian church.
