General Notes: Husband - John Irons

---

He was a tanner by occupation. He was the proprietor of a tannery at Scottsville, Beaver County, Pennsylvania.
He and his wife died the same year, both being victims of the Hookstown fever. He was a ruling elder in the United Presbyterian church, had accumulated considerable property, and stood high in the community. In politics he was a Whig. He had seven children.

He was born on the old family homestead, and received his intellectual training in what schools the community afforded. He learned the trade of a tanner under Mr. Scott, one of the first "squires" appointed in the county, and subsequently went into the tanning business for himself. He was very successful, but preferred farming, and as a result, purchased two hundred acres of partially improved farm land in 1840. He moved upon the place in 1845, dealt considerably in horses, raised wheat, and carried on general farming,-being fairly successful. He was a shrewd business man. Religiously, he was a member, and for many years an elder, of the United Presbyterian church. He was a Whig, in political affiliations. He died of typhoid fever at the age of forty-two years, and, eight days afterwards, his wife died of the same disease. [BOBBC, 356]
