General Notes: Husband - James Borlin
He learned the trade of tanning, which he followed for a number of years in connection with the butcher business, and then engaged in the hotel business. His first venture in that line was the Western Inn (Cope House), and this was followed by the Harbaugh House, corner of Main and Pittsburg streets, and by The Exchange (New Fisher House). He removed to Chicago, Illinois, in 1864, where he conducted the Cass House, corner of Canal and Mitchell streets. He returned to Greensburg one year later and commenced business in the oil, livery and teaming lines, at Pit Hole. He built the Laird House in 1868 (burned in 1887), which he conducted successfully for a number of years. He was a large dealer in live stock of all kinds, part of his business consisting of taking horses overland to the state of Iowa, in the fifties, and he shipped horses and cattle to the New York and Philadelphia markets. He removed to McKeesport in 1885, conducting the Jerome House there, then settling in Glenwood, Pittsburgh, in 1890, where, in association with his son, James Buchanan, he opened the Electric Hotel, which was a very profitable venture. He sold this in 1899 to his son-in-law, Charles A. Warfield, and returned to Greensburg, where his last days were spent. He was elected sheriff of Westmoreland County, in 1877, by the largest majority any candidate ever polled for any office in that county. He was a consistent member of the German Reformed church.
