General Notes: Husband - James Johnson Van Eman

---

He received his education at the common schools of the district and at an academy at Elder's Ridge, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, completing his literary train-ing with a course of study at Washington and Jef-ferson College. On leaving the latter institution he took up and continued work on his father's farm - chiefly buying and selling stock - till his marriage, when he opened a store in Thompsonville, Peters township. This he carried on six years, at the end of which time, finding his health becoming impaired, he returned to the farm. Five years later he went to Pittsburgh, where for two years he had a store for the sale of agricultural implements, on leaving which he went to Canonsburg and established a hardware store and tin and steel roofing establishment.
