General Notes: Husband - Basil Duncan Swearingen

---

He was educated in the public schools of his native township, and became a farmer, owning a saw mill near Old King's Creek Church, which he operated until the timber supply of that region was exhausted. About 1898 he moved to Beaver and established in the coal business, also owning several teams and doing much hauling in the locality. Since childhood he was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, the services of which denomination he regularly attended, and in all political issues he sided with the Republican party.
