General Notes: Husband - Thomas M. Carnahan


He was born at McKeesport, Pennsylvania, and obtained a common school education. He assisted his parents with the farm work, and in 1848 moved with his father to Indiana County, continuing to farm with him until 1888. He also owned a farm of his own, in Armstrong County, upon which he lived about fourteen years. In 1890 he sold his farm and engaged in the general store business at Shelocta as senior member of the firm of Thomas M. Carnahan & Sons, retaining his interest in this business until his sons bought it. On June 15, 1896, he entered upon his duties as postmaster at Shelocta; the office was located in his sons' store. Mr. Carnahan was associated with public affairs in his township practically throughout his mature life, holding the offices of supervisor and school director, and in political connection was a Republican. In his younger days he belonged to the Jr. O. U. A. M., and in his early manhood he was a member of the State militia, at Chambersburg. He was an earnest member of the Shelocta United Presbyterian Church in Armstrong township, and served as elder in the church.
