General Notes: Husband - John Nevin McConnell

---

He received his education in the common schools of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and in his youthful days was not a stranger to hard manual labor. Having an ambition to accomplish more in life’s conflict than seemed possible in the role he was then following, he, by hard study at night time, in a few years, became competent to fill a higher sphere, and in 1900 associated himself with the well known Equitable Life Assurance Company, whose business he managed at Greensburg up until 1906. In the early part of 1905 he became interested in coal lands and fire clay deposits, developing and marketing the same. Like most of his ancestors he was a member of the Reformed church, and during 1904 was the superintendent of its Sunday school. He was a member of the F. and A. M., Shidle Lodge, No. 601, at Irwin, Pennsylvania.
