General Notes: Husband - Isaac E. Shumaker


He was born in what is now Mahoning township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared and educated. Beginning in 1864 he was a resident of Madison township. He cleared the larger part of the farm he owned and occupied. He also cleared the land where the town of Deanville later stood. For years he was one of the lead­ing business men of that place, having a gen­eral merchandise store there for thirty-five years, and acting as postmaster at that place for the long period of twenty-nine and a half years. Meantime, for two and a half years, he owned and conducted a store near Edenburg, Clarion County, during the oil excite­ment. From the fall of 1865 to the fall of 1869 he was heavily interested in the huck­ster business, shipping to Pittsburgh, and kept several teams busy hauling his produce to the station. This was during the building of the low-grade division of the Allegheny Valley railroad and later at St. Charles (then Leatherwood). For sixteen years, from his own property of 100 acres and leased land adjoin­ing, Mr. Shumaker was engaged in shipping fire clay to Rochester and Sharon, Pennsylvania, and Massillon and Newburg, Ohio, and during that time he also shipped iron ore to Kittanning, Pennsylvania. In 1900 he organized the Clarion Fire Brick Company, of which he was presi­dent, and the works, at St. Charles, Pennsylvania, con­sume sixty tons of fire clay per day, in the manufacture of a superior grade of fire brick, used exclusively for steel furnaces. Mr. Shu­maker was at the head of this concern since its organization. It was his idea to drill gas wells to furnish gas for the operation of the plant, and the company owned and operated eleven for that purpose, at a monthly expense of one thousand dollars. He was a man of vigorious mind, with the energy and ambi­tion to carry out his projects successfully.
He and his wife were members of the Free Baptist Church at Deanville, which he serves officially as deacon. He was a Republican in political sentiment.
