General Notes: Husband - Robert H. Aley

---

He attended the public schools of Wampum, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, remaining at his books until he was about twenty years of age, and then went to work in the coal banks, where he labored for six years. He then entered the employ of Davis & Harris and worked for three years in their sandstone quarries. Mr. Aley next became a clerk for the Wampum Supply Company and remained with that concern for three years. His next employer was Charles Stapf, and with him he remained for six years as a clerk. In May, 1906, Mr. Aley, in partnership with C. F. Miles, opened up a small slating and tinning business, locating it on Beaver Street, and they subsequently added a line of hardware. The enterprise prospered, and by March 20, 1907, had outgrown the old quarters, necessitating a removal to more commodious ones. The firm then came to a location on Main Street, where they carried a full line of hardware, tin and slate roofing, farm implements, hot water and hot air equipments, paints and everything usually to be found in business houses of their kind. Mr. Aley and Mr. Miles employ two men, and both are active in the management, dividing their labors. Mr. Aley looked after the store and retail business, while Mr. Miles, who was a practical roofer of many years' standing, took care of the work in that line.
