General Notes: Husband - James W. Grantham

---

He was reared in the beautiful and historic Shenandoah Valley, where he learned the trade of cabinet-making with his father, with whom he continued to work until 1872, when he came north to Connellsville, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. During the next decade he worked at the carpenter's trade, one year at Connellsville, one at Mt. Pleasant and eight at Madison; part of this time he was also engaged in contracting. In 1882 he went to West Newton, where he remained three years as a contractor and builder and then removed to Scottdale and carried on the same business until 1888, when he purchased the interest of W. L. Stoner (deceased) in the Westmoreland planing mill. This is the pioneer mill of Scottdale, having been established in 1873.
He was a member of the Royal Arcanum and of the U. B. church; he is a prohibitionist and an earnest advocate of correct religious principles.
