General Notes: Husband - John W. Gailey
He spent his boyhood days in the village of Mt. Jackson, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where he attended the public schools. At the age of nineteen years he went to Pittsburgh and served two years of apprenticeship at the carpenter's trade in the establishment of Brown & Company. He then went to Salem, Ohio, and after finishing his trade returned to Mt. Jackson, where he thereafter made his headquarters throughout his active business career. He embarked in contracting and building and erected many of the houses, churches, school buildings and barns throughout that section of Lawrence County, as well as across the line in Mahoning County, Ohio. Among the structures built by him may be mentioned the Hillsville M. E. Church, the Hillsville Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church at New Middletown, Ohio, the Springfield Reformed Church, the Mt. Jackson U. P. Church, the Seventh Ward M. E. Church of New Castle, and the Seventh Ward School.
He was a Republican in politics, and held some office or other in the township ever since reaching his majority. He was overseer of the poor for twenty years, and also served as constable, among other offices. He was a member of the M. E. Church of Mt. Jackson beginning in November, 1866, and helped it over some very rough spots in the road. At one time the congregation dwindled down until he was the only member left, but largely through his instrumentality it was placed on it's feet, and restored to a thriving condition.
