General Notes: Husband - Charles W. Saxman


He acquired his early education in the public schools of his native county, and later attended Delmont Academy, Delmont, Pennsylvania, also Mount Union College, Ohio. Upon the completion of his studies he engaged in teaching for three winters, assisting his father on the farm during the summer months. The ten succeeding years after the demise of his father, he continued the vocation of school teaching during the winter months, working the home farm alone for the remainder of the year. In the autumn of 1885 he removed to Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in the mercantile business for two years. At the expiration of that period of time, foreseeing that better opportunities presented themselves in the real estate field, he sold his interest in the former business and gave his entire attention to real estate and fire insurance. Shortly afterward he discontinued the fire insurance business, but continued with the real estate, in which he achieved a large degree of success. In politics he was a Republican. In 1903 he was elected to the office of director of the Home for the Poor of Westmoreland county. He also served for sixteen years as notary public, and three years as tax collector. After the death of his father Mr. Saxman was appointed trustee of the church in his stead, which office he held for ten consecutive years or until his removal to Latrobe. A few years later he became a member of the board of trustees of the Latrobe Methodist Episcopal church. The following societies counted Mr. Saxman among their members: The I. O. O. F. Lodge No. 542, of Delmont; Latrobe Council, No. 368, R. A.; Silver Maple Camp, No. 19, W. W., Latrobe; and Meridan Conclave, No. 177, I. O. H., Latrobe.
