General Notes: Husband - John E. Finley

---

He attended the Pleasant Valley subscription school, and spent four years in attendance at Merrittstown Academy in Luzerne township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, riding three miles to school every day. He then became his father's farm assistant, continuing until the death of the latter in 1874. He then purchased one hundred and fifty-seven acres of the old William Stone farm in Menallen township, on which the Stone tannery was located. The farm was underlaid with the Pittsburgh nine-foot coal vein, and Mr. Finley disposed of several acres of the coal, only receiving therefor $1,000 per acre. He continued the cultivation and improvement of his farm all through life. He was a Republican in politics, but never sought or held public office. Mr. Finley was an elder of the Second Presbyterian Church of Uniontown, his wife also being a communicant of the same church. He was also connected for several years with the Patrons of Husbandry.
