General Notes: Husband - John Nicholas Dawson

---

He was educated at Madison College, Uniontown, Pennsylvania, and Washington College, now Washington and Jefferson, Washington, Pennsylyania, whence he was graduated in 1861. He chose farming as his occupation and owned a farm at Oak Hill, which he cultivated until 1870, when he came to Uniontown and leased the plant of the Union Woollen Mill. Shortly afterward he purchased the mill and successfully operated it until May 8, 1879, when it was entirely destroyed by fire. He did not rebuild but at once established a general store in Uniontown, which he continued until 1888, when he was elected justice of the peace and gradually retired from other business. He held the office of justice continuously by successive reelections for twenty years. He was a member of the Episcopal church, which he served as senior warden for many years. In politics he was a Republican.
