General Notes: Husband - William Corbett Sloan
He learned the carpenter trade, and contracted for building when he was quite young, an occupation which he followed for several years. He also taught several terms of school, and rafted and ran boats on the river when not otherwise employed, always making it a point never to be idle. In 1865 he purchased a farm in West Millville. He laid out the village of West Millville, Pennsylvania, in 1870, and took an active interest in its improvement. From the time he bought his farm until 1872 he was engaged in the store business and improving his farm. After that time, with the exception of one year, which he spent among the Indians and buffaloes of British America and Dakota, he devoted his entire attention to farming, and raising Jersey cattle and fine horses. Mr. Sloan was an active worker in the Presbyterian Church at West Millville. [HCC 1887, 642]
He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania and was educated in the old subscription schools of his native place. As a young man he was a teacher for a number of years. In early life he studied medicine under Dr. Stewart, of Limestone, and for one year was an active practitioner there. Having previously learned the carpenter's trade he abandoned the medical profession and returned to that line of work. For many years he also ran boats on the Clarion river. During the period of the civil war he was engaged off and on in enlisting men for service at the front. In 1870 he laid out Millville (later Hawthorne), on his farm, and took an active part in the public affairs of that place. For several years he was engaged in the general merchandise business, but after 1872 devoted most of his attention to farming. He was a breeder of Jersey cattle and fine horses. About 1860 he made a trip west and spent some time in the Dakotas and in western Canada. Although not an aspirant for public office he was overseer of the poor in Red Bank township, Clarion County, and in Millville for many years. In religious matters he was a devout member of the Presbyterian church. [GPHAV, 746]
