General Notes: Husband - Thomas Hurst Irwin

---

He was born in the McIntire House, at Jacksonville, Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools of that town and academies at Irwin and Merritstown, Fayette County. He located at Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in the general store business with his uncle, Thomas Hurst. While a resident of that place, he married, and in 1860 removed to the Jacob Byerly farm, of his father. He removed to the James Irwin farm, near Irwin, Westmoreland County, where he resided until the death of his father, when he moved to the Irwin Mansion, in Irwin, where he thereafter resided.

It was about the time of his birth that his father removed to the town of Irwin, Pennsylvania, and it was there that he formed his early associations and received his education, attending the common school at Irwin. He later attended the academy at Irwin and then went to Merrittstown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and attended the academy there. Upon completing his studies at the latter institution, he went to Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, where his uncle, Thomas Hurst, kept a general store, and there secured employment with this relative. For some time he worked in the establishment of his uncle, but later removed to the old James Irwin farm, near Irwin, where he resided until the death of his father. He then removed to that gentleman's home in Irwin and made his abode there until the time of his own death.
