General Notes: Husband - John McMannis

---

His boyhood and youth were spent alternately in Canton township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, in working on the farm and in attending the subscription schools of the locality. After marriage he resided three years on the farm with his father. He then located on a rented farm in Buffalo township, situated about one and one-half miles from Taylorstown. This place he afterward purchased, and it was on this farm that the first oil well in the township was sunk.
He was originally a Democrat, but beginning in 1856 he was a Republican; for twenty-four years he was a school director, and from 1865 he served as a justice of the peace for ten years, or, in fact, till he declined to serve longer, even when re-elected.
In the summer of 1889 Mr. McMannis retired from active business life, and having sold the farm to the Washington Oil Company, he moved into the village of Taylorstown.
