General Notes: Husband - James Harvey Irwin

---

After his marriage, he located at East Bethlehem, Washington County, Pennsylvania. In 1870 he moved to Pittsburgh, and soon afterwards began dealing in real estate and investing in various enterprises, in which he was usually successful. He continued in this business all his life, and from the nature of his occupation he formed many acquaintances, a large majority of whom became his steadfast friends. Politically, Mr. Irwin was a whig in his earlier years. Upon the organization of the republican party, he became one of its stanchest adherents, and remained so until 1876, when he voted for Tilden, and from that time to his death he was a supporter of democratic principles. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church.
