General Notes: Husband - John Sharp McChesney

---

Tidioute, Deerfield Twp, Warren Co, PA - a farmer

He was intellectually trained in the public schools or New Castle, Pennsylvania, and also at New Castle Academy, and completed his education under Prof. Hutchman, the principal of the high school, who conducted a select class. He taught school in New Castle three years, and then engaged as a clerk in the dry goods store of Philip & Cochran. After remaining in that capacity six years he was forced to resign on account of ill health, as he was unable to endure the close confinement of such work. He then dealt for a time in butter and farm produce, in which he was very successful, afterwards buying out the grocery store of Joseph Long, in New Castle. Three years later he sold out and bought a farm near Pulaski, Lawrence County. This he in turn sold and moved to Venango County, where he rented a farm. Having spent six years there, he moved to Warren County, about 1869.
He was an earnest worker in the Presbyterian Church; in politics, he was first a Republican, but later favored Prohibition. He was a taker of the census in 1880 and was appointed postmaster of Fagundus, Warren County.
