General Notes: Husband - Robert H. Latimore
He was educated in the schools of Ireland and before coming to America worked on a farm. After his arrival in Pennsylvania he embarked in the coal business as superintendent of the mines at Armstrong station on the B. & O. R. R., in which position he continued for seventeen years with no intermission except a period of three months in which he visited Port Rush, a famous watering place in the northern part of Ireland. The visit was made for the benefit of his health and since that time he has never been sick a single week. At the expiration of the seventeen years he engaged in the coal business for himself at West Newton, operating what is called the Yough Slope Gas Coal Company's mines. This company mines and ships Youghiogheny gas coal. Mr. Latimore has been in this business since 1879, and in addition owns and conducts the business of a large general store in West Newton; he also ships coal to his yards in Pittsburgh where it is retailed to the city trade. He owns a valuable farm in Sewickley township and a fine brick residence in West Newton which he built for a home. He removed to West Newton in 1879 in order to secure greater educational advantages and all the benefits and enjoyments of town life. Mr. Latimore took an active interest in the success of the Republican party and was a consistent member of the United Presbyterian church at West Newton, of which he was one of the trustees. Mrs. Latimore and three of the children were also members of the same church.
