General Notes: Husband - James M. Shields
He was a farmer by occupation, a tanner by trade and very successful in all his business undertakings. He was one of the founders of New Alexandria Presbyterian church, of which he was an elder from the time of its establishment until his death. In politics he was a democrat but was no partisan. He served as school director of Salem township, Westmoreland County, and as justice of the peace never encouraged litigation. Of excellent judgment and conservative views, he was a man who always commanded respect.
