General Notes: Husband - Alexander Pool

---

He got such education as the schools of Hempfield township afforded at the time. At the age of twenty-one he enlisted in Company B, One Hundred and Forty-Second Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served two years and eleven months. While in the service he was sick two months, and was subsequently put on duty in the hospital for four months. After his return from the war he went to the oil fields of Pennsylvania where he worked at well drilling. Returning to his native township he worked one year for his uncle, Samuel Pool on a farm. He followed farming for himself until 1874 when he engaged in the mercantile business at Hunkers ten years, then engaged in the insurance business for three years. He then purchased a tract of timberland, and for two years was in the lumber business. In 1888 he purchased a property, being the first lot sold in south Greensburg. He followed teaming one year, then entered the employ of Kelley and Jones, as inspector, remaining about thirteen years, and one year in the employ of the Hempfield Foundry Company. He then retired.
Mr. Pool was elected, February 20, 1906, tax collector for three years.
