General Notes: Husband - John W. Peairs

---

He was born in Elizabeth township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and was reared to a farm life. He adopted that calling, and sometime in the thirties removed to Mendon, Westmoreland County, where he purchased a farm and resided on it until about 1874, when he moved back to Elizabeth township. He bought a farm there but later retired from active management, turning the work over to his sons. He was a staunch Democrat in politics, and a member of the United Presbyterian church.
He and his wife had five children; three survived in 1906.
