General Notes: Husband - Charles Shirey

---

He was educated in the district schools of his native place, and remained on the home farm until he had reached his twenty-first year. His first work after leaving home was on a street car line at Braddock, Pennsylvania. Subsequently he became a carpenter and painter and was engaged in the work of these trades for several years. In 1908 he came to a farm in Toby township, and after running this place for a short period he worked in the lumbering woods for five months. With the exception of that period he resided continuously on his estate, which was originally the old Weeter homestead. This farm comprised one hundred and thirty-three acres and was in a fine state of cultivation. Mr. Shirey owned considerable coal deposits under his farm and in connection with his agricultural work ran a coal bank. In politics he maintained an independent attitude, preferring to give his support to men and measures meeting with the approval of his judgment, rather than to vote along strictly partisan lines.
