General Notes: Husband - William Orr

---

He was just a child when his parents moved from their home in Washington County, Pennsylvania, to Green Garden, Beaver County, and in the latter place he grew to maturity, as a youth learning the trade of shoemaker. Becoming a mercantile dealer, he opened a store at Old Independence, Beaver County, also holding the office of postmaster, the government office occupying a part of his store. Here he remained until 1863, when in partnership with Mr. R. H. Cooper, he entered the general merchandise business in Beaver, the firm trading as Orr & Cooper. From 1878 until 1881 he was manager of the store of D. E. McCallister, in New Sheffield, after which position he came to Beaver Falls in 1884, establishing himself in the grocery business. Two years later he dissolved partnership with the man who was then associated with him in business, and received his son, William James, as partner, the firm being known as William Orr & Son from 1886 until 1895. In the latter year his son withdrew from the firm, the father selling his business two years later and retiring from active life. During his business life as a merchant he dealt extensively in buying and selling wool, for many years being the largest distributor of the wool output of the region.
In politics he was a Republican.
