General Notes: Husband - Thomas Knox Cochran


He was a man of superior educational attainments. He was engaged in teaching school some years in Cochranton, Pennsylvania, and later at Shakerville, of which village he became a resident. He, in partnership with a brother-in-law, T. C. Cochran, opened a general store in Shakerville, which he conducted until the early eighteen-fifties, when he moved to Neshannock Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania. Here he purchased 400 acres of land and engaged in extensive farming operations. He raised stock on a large scale, and his land was devoted to the culture of grains and hay.
He was originally a Whig in politics, and later a Republican, and frequently was called into public service in his township, serving as supervisor, school director and in other local offices. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. He died while in the prime of life.
