General Notes: Husband - Edward Werkman

---

Hawkeye, Westmoreland Co, PA - a market gardener

He attended the common schools and remained on the family homestead until 1882, when he entered the service of Graul & Werkman, bakers and confectioners, with whom he remained until 1884. He then went to Ironbridge, where for ten years he was engaged in the general merchandise business. While there he established the postoffice, was made postmaster, and served in that capacity for about ten years. In the autumn of 1893 his store was destroyed by fire, and in the spring of 1894 he purchased a farm on which he then resided and which consisted of twenty-two acres. This land he, for some years, cultivated as a gardener, doing a general business. He was a Republican in politics, and in the spring of 1894 was elected tax collector of East Huntingdon township, an office which he filled for six years. He belonged to the Knights of Malta, and he and his family were members of the Reformed church.
