General Notes: Husband - James Mitchell Sloan

---

He attended the public schools, then worked at farming for two years, later moving to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he learned the carpenter's trade. He continued working at his trade until 1878, then became an oil producer in the McKean County district, making his home in Duke Center. He also owned oil rights in the state of Kentucky, and was constantly engaged in the oil business until 1906, when he sold his principal interests. In 1904 he established himself in Bradford as an undertaker and funeral director; in 1910 so greatly had his business increased that he disposed of all his oil properties and interests, giving all his attention to his undertaking establishment.
He was a Republican in politics, but strongly in favor of prohibition, as a party principle, but not as an independent political movement. He was a school director in Duke Center, and in Bradford served on the common council, also for many years as inspector representing the First Ward in councils. For over thirty years he was an official member of the Methodist Episcopal church, active and helpful in all its work. He was also a member of the Heptasophs.
