General Notes: Husband - John P. Kilgore

---

He received his education in the common schools and Sewickley academy. Leaving school he was clerk for Lobaugh & Kunkle of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, for a short time. From 1860 to 1866 he was a member of the oil firm of Kilgore, Wanamaker & Co., of Venango County, Pennsylvania. From the oil region he returned to Westmoreland County, purchased the Henry George farm at George's station, engaged in farming and breeding fine live stock; in 1867 he became a member of the firm of A. & J. P. Kilgore and engaged successfully in buying and selling horses. In 1875 the firm purchased a stable in Brooklyn, New York, and became extensive shippers of horses to that market. Dishonest employees and the panic ruined their business. After 1881 he was engaged in the mercantile business at George's station.
In politics Mr. Kilgore was a democrat and he served as postmaster at George's station beginning in 1881.
