General Notes: Husband - John Buchanan


Until he was twenty years old, he remained on his father's farm in County Antrim, Ireland, and cherished a loving remembrance of his old home, which he left, in 1853, to come to America. After landing in the United States, he remained for two days in the city of New York and then went on to Philadelphia. A short residence in that city made him seek a better business location farther west, and hence he crossed the mountains and finally reached Pittsburgh. There he obtained railroad construction work for the following winter, and at other points worked on the railroad for seven years after that, becoming, in the course of time, a trusted man in that work, and serving as division foreman. At length he tired of railroad labor, and in 1861 he purchased a farm, from John F. Miller, and after coming to the place continued to improve it. He erected substantial buildings and has enriched his land until it produced abundantly.
He was a member of the United Presbyterian Church. In politics he was a Republican, and on his party's ticket he was frequently elected to local offices.
