General Notes: Husband - Hon. Noah Seanor

---

He was born near Seanor's Church, in Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and attended school in his native township and county. He was reared on his father's farm there, near Madison. His father's early death threw him on his own resources at an early age, he being only six years old at the time. For some years he worked by the day. After his marriage he engaged in farming on his own account, and in 1864 came to Indiana County, between his two terms of service in the Civil war. In 1867 he began dealing largely in live stock, in which line he became notably successful, some years shipping between one hundred and one hundred thirty carloads, with a value of over one hundred thousand dollars. In 1877 he purchased a farm in South Mahoning township, where he resided for the next thirty years, built a large dwelling house and barn there, and made other notable improvements. He also owned two other farms, of seventy or more acres each, in Armstrong and Indiana counties. In 1908 Mr. Seanor removed from his farm to Plumville, where he then resided, and he became engaged in lumber dealing and as a contractor and builder. He was also engaged in lumber dealing at New Kensington, Westmoreland County.
After the breaking out of the Civil war Mr. Seanor enlisted for three months. His company was not accepted. In 1862 he joined Company H, 14th Pennsylvania Cavalry, but his company shortly afterward withdrew from that regiment and united with the 18th Pennsylvania Cavalry. In January, 1863, he was captured by the Confederates under Colonel Moseby after shooting two of their horses, near the battlefield of Chantilly, and sent to Middleburg, where he was paroled. As soon as exchanged he rejoined the army, but soon afterward, upon the application of his mother that he was not of age and her only support, he was discharged. In 1865, after attaining the age of eighteen years, he reentered the Union army, enlisting in Company F, 28th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was discharged at the close of the war. He took part in Sherman's famous march to the sea, and was present at Johnston's surrender.
Mr. Seanor was long a leading member of the Republican party in his section. In the spring of 1890 he was nominated for representative from his district in the State Legislature, and at the election in the fall was successful by the largest majority received by any Republican candidate for such office in the county. He was twice reelected, serving three successive terms. The same year he was unanimously elected to represent Armstrong County on the State board of agriculture for the term of three years, in spite of the fact that his residence was in Indiana County. He was one of the first members of the Dayton Agricultural Society and one of the most active workers in that organization, serving as president of its board of managers. Mr. Seanor was a man of notable personal appearance, being six feet, one and a half inches in height. He was strictly temperate, indulging in neither liquor nor tobacco.

Civil War: he was in company H, 18th Pennsylvania cavalry, for nine months\emdash was a prisoner of war one day, and was also in company F, 28th Pennsylvania volunteers for six months.
