General Notes: Husband - Jacob Frank "Neighbor" Carnahan

---

He was born in what is now Parks township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, at "Stitts Mill." He was a resident of Leechburg and the vicinity all his life, was a member of the First Presbyterian Church and of the John Knox Bible class, and for years was familiarly known all along the Kiskiminetas valley as "Neighbor" Carnahan. He had a reputation as a grower of fine flowers, and his gardens were noted and admired for years.

For many years he was the support of his widowed mother.

When the Spanish war was declared Mr. Carnahan enlisted in Capt. Austin Clark's company, and was assigned to Company G, of the 16th Regiment in the Porto Rican campaign of the Spanish-American conflict, and was promoted to corporal. Serving throughout the war, he was honorably discharged at its close, returning to Leechburg with sixteen others from the town and neighborhood. Corporal Carnahan was in the employ of the American Sheet & Tin Plate Company and their predecessors in Leechburg for thirty-one years in the capacity of gate watchman.
