General Notes: Husband - John Murtz Eisaman

---

He was born on the old family farm at West Newton, South Huntingdon township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. It was with this place that his childish associations were formed and there that he obtained the elementary portion of his education, attending the local public schools for this purpose. Subsequently he was sent to the district school at Carnegie, in the Mansfield Valley, and still later took a business course at Duff's Commercial College at Pittsburgh. After completing this, he took up the trade of painting, at which his father worked, and became associated with the elder man in this craft. In the year 1893 he accompanied his parents to Greensburg, in which place he then made his home. There his father continued in the house painting trade and there for several years he remained associated with the elder man. Eventually, however, he established a business of his own and became one of the most widely known and patronized painting contractors in the region. While still engaged in this craft, Mr. Eisaman also started an undertaking establishment in association with E. J. Perry, an association which continued until the year 1906. On April 1, 1906, Mr. Eisaman temporarily left Greensburg and traveled West to San Francisco, where he remained for something over a year. While in that city he became associated with E. B. Lovejoy in the ship carving and repairing business, working in Mr. Lovejoy's establishment in the capacity of foreman. In 1907, however, he returned to Greensburg and there took charge of the Coulter building as its superintendent. In later years he has established an agency in Greensburg for the Remington typewriter and also dealt in typewriters on his own account.
He was a staunch supporter of the principles and policies represented by the Democratic party, and was decidedly active in the cause of that party locally. He was a member of the Greensburg Fire Department and of Hose Company No. 2.
Mr. Eisaman was a man of quite unusual scientific attainments, and is known throughout the region as an expert in X-ray work.
During the Spanish-American War he was a member of the Red Cross Society.
