General Notes: Husband - M. R. Meanor

---

He received his education in the subscription and common schools of his native township and Turtle Creek Valley academy, later Laird Institute. In 1868 he taught a term of school in Penn township, Westmoreland County, and in the following year enlisted in Co. D, fifteenth reg. Pa. cavalry, served in six different states, and was honorably discharged June 29, 1865. From 1865 to 1868 he taught in Franklin township, and then was in charge of his father's farm until 1872, when he was severely injured by a sunstroke, which compelled him to abandon farming. He removed to Ludwick borough, and after recover-ing his health he taught six terms of school in North Huntingdon, Penn and Hempfield town-ships. In 1884 he moved to Greensburg, where he opened, on January 15, 1889, a grocery and provision store on West Pittsburg street, the firm known as Townsend & Meanor.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church beginning in 1859, and was sup-erintendent of the Murrysville Sunday school for six years. He was secretary of the National Union and at one time was councillor in the order of Chosen Friends.
