General Notes: Husband - John Forker Hosack

---

He was educated at the New Wilmington (Pennsylvania) Academy and began business life at an early age. He was a weigher of coal and connected with coal operations in Mercer County, PA, until 1876, when he located at Scott Haven, having charge of mining operations for Mr. Scott. In 1896 he located in Allegheny, purchasing a mine at Bridgeville, making that town his home. This mine, previously owned by Mr. Schulte, he worked for several years. Later he was in the employ of the Pittsburgh Coal Company, then became interested in West Virginia coal mines and lands. He was one of the organizers of the Bridgeville Trust Company and the first president of that prosperous institution, resigning on account of poor health and living retired until his death. He was a Republican, a member of the Masonic Order and a member of the Presbyterian church.
