General Notes: Husband - James F. Blayney


He obtained his education in the subscription schools in West Liberty District, Ohio County, West Virginia, of which he later in life became one of the school directors. He remained at home and helped his father until the latter's death in 1860, and continued to follow farming and stock raising for many years thereafter, but in 1893 he retired from hard labor and came to a comfortable home in West Alexander, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He served three years on the borough council there and took a deep interest in the growth and progress of the place and its institutions.
In his political views, he was a Republican, his father having been a Whig. He was a leading member of the West Alexander Presbyterian Church, and beginning in 1880 was an elder in the same.
