General Notes: Husband - Camden C. Cochran


He was educated in the township schools and Glade Run Academy and remained at home, assisting his father on the homestead near Dayton, Pennsylvania, which later became his own property. He became associated in business with his uncle, Samuel Cochran, and together they opened a coal mine on the home property and did a coal business for twenty or twenty-five years, when they sold out to the Dayton Coal Company. After this Mr. Cochran gave his entire attention to his agricultural pursuits. For many years he served as secretary of the Dayton Fair Association and as one of its managers. From early manhood he was interested in public matters, especially in local affairs, and was frequently elected to office on the Republican ticket, serving as township auditor, secretary of the school board as roadmaster, and in the fall of 1911 he was elected to the office of justice of the peace for Wayne township. He was a stockholder in the Dayton Normal Institute.
A natural as well as trained musician for twenty or thirty years Mr. Cochran was prominent in the borough's musical concerns, teaching singing and serving as leader of the Dayton Cornet Band. For seventeen or more years he was an elder in the Glade Run Presbyterian Church and for about twenty years led the church choir, and he took an active part in the Sunday school. [HAC 1914, 436]
