General Notes: Husband - William A. Swain

---

He was educated in the common and high school at Zelienople, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and for ten years taught school, meeting with success in this field, for he was interested in his work and was able to interest as well as instruct others. He also gave consider­able time and attention to surveying. In 1903 he entered into the hardware business at Zelienople, being treasurer of the Zelienople Hardware Company, a prospering business enterprise of the place, and the largest concern of its kind in that section. In his political views, Mr. Swain voted with the Democratic party on national is­sues, but in local affairs he cast an inde­pendent ballot. He was a member of Har­mony Lodge No. 648, Odd Fellows; of Harmony Lodge No. 311, Knights of Pyth­ias; and of the Royal Arcanum, also of Harmony. He had membership in the Eng­lish Lutheran Church at Zelienople. [TCHBC, 691]
