General Notes: Husband - George J. Seanor


He was educated in the common schools of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and farmed until he attained his majority, when he engaged with his brother Harry F. in the sale of farm implements and machinery at home as well as in other cities for three years. He then went to Springfield, Ohio, and accepted a position with the O. S. Kelly Company, traveling for them as an expert on steam street rollers throughout the United States. He was thus occupied for two years, and then went to the World's Fair at Chicago to take charge of their special exhibit. At the close of the fair he returned to Westmoreland County, and again entered into business associations with his brother. He then entered the employ of the McCormick Harvest Machine Company as salesman, and remained with them for a period of about five years. In the fall of 1904, he was elected sheriff of Westmoreland County. He was elected by the largest majority ever accorded a Republican candidate for that office in that section of the country. He had previously served as deputy sheriff under his brother Harry F. and also under Sheriff B. F. May. He was active, prominent and influential in the ranks of the Republican party. Mr. Seanor was also largely interested in real estate transactions, and in buying and selling fine breeds of horses.
