General Notes: Husband - Samuel Hoey


He was left an orphan when nine years of age, therefore his opportunities for securing an education were limited. He, however, possessed great natural ability. Being gifted with a wonderful memory he retained the facts noted in his extensive reading, and thus became a man of considerable prominence. He numbered among his personal friends Congressman John Covode, Judge Mellon, D. W. Shryock, and other prominent men. He was a great lover of music, and was a teacher of the vocal art. He was ever and first a farmer, and never abandoned it. In politics he was an ardent Republican, and was for many years assistant revenue collector of his district, consisting of five townships. In 1870 he was census enumerator for Franklin township. In 1870 he ran for county treasurer, but failed of election, the county being strongly Democratic. He was later elected jury commissioner for one term. He was a man of strong religious convictions, and intensely loyal to the Presbyterian faith. He was a regular church attendant, and when a young man walked seven and a half miles to worship in his chosen church. In later life was trustee and treasurer of Murrysville Presbyterian church.

After their wedding ceremony he and his wife went on horseback to the home of Mr. Hoey's mother, where they began housekeeping, and where their children were born and reared.
