General Notes: Husband - Thomas Nesbit


He was a small boy when the family settled in Pennsylvania. He was well educated for the times, and when seventeen years old began teaching, being occupied with that profession and clerking, as well as work on the home farm, until after he reached his majority. In 1857 he went into the mercantile business at Utica, Venango County, Pennsylvania, retaining his interest in the store until 1885, though he was not actively connected with it from 1875, having acquired other interests which took up his attention. He was a part owner of the Utica flour mills for many years, was engaged in farming, and from 1880 until his death was associated with banking, having become a stockholder in the Exchange Bank of Franklin that year. In the middle eighties he was elected vice president of the bank, of which he became cashier in 1893, serving as such until 1905. In religion he was a Presbyterian, in politics a Democrat.
