General Notes: Husband - Milton Fundis Remaley
He attended the public schools of his native region, until he had reached the age of sixteen years. He then began his career by working in a humble capacity for his father in a grist mill owned by the elder man. For four years he continued thus employed and then, in association with other members of his family, he invested in a portable saw mill and began to do a lumber business in the region, taking his mill throughout the various townships of Westmoreland County, and doing a thriving business. Some years later he gave up this enterprise and started in the livery and feed business, in which he met with a high degree of success. Mr. Remaley continued in this line until 1915, when he engaged in the automobile business, establishing a garage and acting as agent for the Ford car. He eventually built an enormous brick building on the same block where he started his livery business. This building, which measured fifty by one hundred and fifteen feet, had the capacity for seventy-five cars and afforded adequate quarters for the business which Mr. Remaley developed.
Mr. Remaley was very active in the public life of the community, and did much to promote the interests of the place. He was a Democrat in politics, and although he never sought public office, he held that of councilman for six years. He was a member of Delmont Lodge, No. 542, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, of Delmont, Pennsylvania; of Lodge No. 952, Junior Order of United American Workmen, of Export, Pennsylvania; of Lodge No. 429, Knights of the Golden Eagle, of Export, Pennsylvania; and Lodge No. 176, Knights of Pythias, of Export. Mr. Remaley was a member of the Emmanuel Reformed Church of Franklin township.
