General Notes: Husband - Cornelius Calvin Shane

---

He was just three years of age at the time of the death of his mother, and he was taken to the farm of his maternal grandparents, John and Jane (McCallister) Ewing, and there his childhood and youth were spent, and there he attended the public schools and acquired his education. His grandparents were among the pioneer settlers of that section of the country. The homestead farm consisted of three hundred acres and was considered one of the fine farms of that region. Mr. Shane engaged in farming and stock raising. He had one farm at Shippingport, Beaver County, which comprised one hundred acres, and another of one hundred and twenty-seven acres, both in a fine state of cultivation for general produce. He kept these two farms up to the mark in every particular, providing them with the latest improvements in farm implements and machinery and with the necessary buildings.
He was a public-spirited citizen, and as a representative of the Republican party, he was elected and appointed to a number of public offices. He served as assessor and collector of the township for a period of eight years, and was constable for six years. He was a liberal member of the Mount Pleasant United Presbyterian Church, and a regular attendant.
