General Notes: Husband - J. Michael Mathias

---

He acquired a good common school education, and at the age of sixteen commenced to earn his own living, engaging in farm work. Two years later he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad as a laborer, and his work won for him a promotion in 1880 to foreman, a position which he then retained for many years. Politically he was in accord with the principles advanced by the Democratic party, and served for six years as a school director. He was a member of the Lutheran church, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, No. 885, of Scottdale, in which he passed all the chairs.
