General Notes: Husband - James Loudon

---

He was born in a house which stood on West Main street, Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. The house was a two-story log structure and was painted white, from which circumstance it was known as "White Hall." Being the only son, he naturally came into possession of his father's printing, publishing and drug business. Later he added to his stock books and stationery, and continued in business at that place until he was obliged to retire because of the infirmities of old age. After the death of his father, and the place descended to him, "White Hall" was torn down to make way for a more modern building. "White Hall" had been built in the early days of Carlisle's existence, when timber in the vicinity was yet abundant, and the logs in it had seasoned to a hardness that was the surprise and comment of all who examined them. The building that took its place was of brick, and the first in Carlisle to have a pressed brick front. In this building James Loudon for many years kept the only book and stationery store that was in Carlisle. He also did bookbinding, was express agent, and carried on a large and prosperous business. He was active and prominent in the affairs of the town, was a member of the town council, borough treasurer, treasurer to the board of poor directors and upon one occasion was a candidate for county treasurer on the Whig ticket. He was a musician of more than ordinary ability and could play nearly every musical instrument he had on sale in his store. Dr. Isaac Snowden, of Hogestown, was married to Margery Loudon, daughter of Archibald Loudon, of Silver Spring township, and with his wife would sometimes visit James Loudon and family. The Doctor was also a good musician and fond of playing on the flute. Seeing the flutes in the store he would select one, and with James Loudon as accompanist on another flute or a clarionet would make a melody that would resound up and down the street and attract clusters of people about the store door.
He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Carlisle and long superintendent of its Sunday-school. He was installed an elder of the church on Nov. 4, 1832, and continued an elder until his death.
