General Notes: Husband - James Milton Jaynes

---

In 1855 his parents moved to Pleasant Grove, Pennsylvania, and in 1866 to Vineland, New Jersey, where he received his public school education, finishing at Beaver Seminary, Beaver, Pennsylvania. After leaving school he entered the oil fields in Butler County, coming to Bradford in 1879, which was thereafter his home and place of business, excepting three years, 1905 to 1908, spent in Washington, Pennsylvania, and the few years he was engaged in merchandising. He followed the oil strikes in various capacities until 1888, then became a producer, continuing successfully until he had acquired sufficient capital to engage in mercantile business. He had a general store at Summit City, which he sold at a profit, reopening in the same line at Gilmore, Pennsylvania. He continued there until 1904, then sold and the same year established a general insurance business in Bradford. He has also important holdings of oil and bank stock and real estate. He was a Republican in politics, a member of Tuna Lodge, No. 411, Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Fosterbrook Lodge, No. 1, Knights of Pythias, and the National Protective Legion, No. 266, of which he was secretary.

He was unmarried in 1913.
