General Notes: Husband - John Irwin

---

He attended the common schools near Long Run church, and located at Jacksonville, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he clerked for a time in the general store of Humphrey Fullerton, afterward being in business there on his own account. Having inherited from his father and his uncle, Colonel John Irwin, land on the Pittsburgh and Greensburg pike, extending from Jacksonville to Wardentown, he, in 1836, erected at Tinker Run the brick mansion which was later at the corner of Main street and Pennsylvania avenue, Irwin, Pennsylvania. In 1853 he laid out the first plan of lots, consisting of one main street extending from the railway to the Reformed church (later Fourth street), to which were afterward added two additions. Irwin was incorpo-rated as a borough November 14, 1864, and later he built the hotel, afterward known as the "Stewart and Dixon House." The frame for this building was of pieces hewed by broad-ax and taken from the adjoining woodland. For a number of years before the advent of the Pennsylvania railroad, he owned and operated a line of stages on the pike between Stewartsville and Youngstown, Pennsylvania. He lived in the Irwin Mansion, devoting his time to the care of his properties until his death, bequeathing a large and valuable estate to his widow and three children.
