General Notes: Husband - George A. Gourley


He was brought up on the family homestead and had the advantage of his father's instruction during his school days. In 1852 he went to Kittanning, Pennsylvania, where he found employment as a clerk until 1856, when he came to Rural Valley and established himself as a general merchant, continuing thus very successfully until 1879. Thereafter he devoted himself to farming and the handling of his real estate interests.
Politically, Mr. Gourley was a Republican, and he served Rural Valley as postmaster for several years. His religious affiliations were with the Methodist Episcopal Church.
