General Notes: Husband - Jeremiah Delo

---

His education was in the common schools of Clarion, PA. In 1850 he united with the Methodist Episcopal church. He then organized the first church choir of Clar­ion; then went to Meadville, was a carpenter and contractor, choir leader in the First Meth­odist Episcopal Church. In 1858 he moved to Altoona, Penn­sylvania, and for a short time was carpenter for the P. R. R., when he was appointed weighmaster. When first appointed he had three hours' work in the day and his assist­ant three at night. After serving forty-one years he was retired on age limit, when super­intendent of weighing, with seventeen assist­ants who were constantly employed. Such was the increase of tonnage in his time of service. At once, on moving to Altoona, he took charge of the choir of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. When the Eighth Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church was organized he filled the same position there. He was chairman of the building committee, constructing two succes­sive church buildings for this organization. During his retirement he enjoyed a most happy life for several years, when his health failed and he gradually came peacefully to the translation to the better life. [GPHAV, 247]
