General Notes: Husband - Samuel Marshall Nesbitt

---

He was born in Blacklick township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where his parents lived for a short time. He attended public school in Conemaugh township and later went to select school, and when his school days were over, he taught for one winter. He then followed farming, assisting his parents, until 1866, in which year he went to the oil fields, remaining a year. Returning home he engaged in lumbering as well as farming for a number of years, in 1882 entering the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as station master, freight agent and express agent at Tunnelton, Pennsylvania, in Conemaugh township. He held that position until the spring of 1910, and meantime also embarked in the general merchandise business. He was appointed post-master, and served as such for over twenty years, being one of the best known residents of the place. During this period, in 1899, he bought a farm of 138 acres near Tunnelton, and carried on its cultivation in connection with his other enterprises. But in 1910, when he retired from the railroad service, sold his general store and gave up the post office, he moved to his home, a very fine farm, where he and his son Nathaniel engaged in general farming and stock raising. Mr. Nesbitt served many years as school director, and was an ardent member of the Prohibition party. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church and served twenty years or more as elder, also teaching a Bible class. Fraternally, he was a Mason for many years, was a Good Templar and member of the Sons of Temperance.
