General Notes: Husband - John Lenfestey Oliver

---

He was educated in the public schools and the Linnean Academy, Mansfield, and at the usual age for such proceedings was apprenticed to learn the tinner's trade, completing his apprenticeship at the age of seventeen years. Because he was desirous of establishing himself in business independently, he persuaded his father to remove to Carnegie, Pennsylvania, in 1873, and was successfully engaged in that business there when he died. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and a staunch Republican.
