General Notes: Husband - Lot W. Irvin

---

He was engaged in the iron business in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.

The Greenville Furnace was built in 1846 by Vincent, Himrod & Woodworth. Joseph Woodworth was the manager. It ran a few years, and failed because its management did not return profitable results. It was then sold to Gen. Irvine, of Centre County, and three of his brothers. Lot Irvine was the manager, but the General furnished the "sinews of war" for the business, as long as he did this business seemed to be prosperous. Failing to do it, business lagged, and Lot, the manager, becoming greatly discouraged, committed suicide by hanging himself. This circumstance and general business depression soon led to the abandonment of the enterprise. [HMC 1888, 192]
