General Notes: Husband - Peter H. Naley

---

He was reared to manhood on his father's farm in Penn township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He was educated at the local public schools, and after completing his studies found employment in some of the neighboring coal mines. He continued in this occupation for a period of about seven years as an ordinary miner and then was placed in charge of the hoisting operations at the plant of the Westmoreland Coal Company, near the town of Manor, coming thus to the community which remained his home. He continued in charge of this department for a period of twelve years and then found himself in a position to realize an ambition long held by him. By thrift and economy he had saved a large proportion of his earnings, and so found himself in possession of sufficient capital to engage in business on his own account. He started in the manufacture of brooms at Manor, but followed this just a short time when he was elected to the office of justice of the peace and at once gave his entire time to the performance of the duties of his office. This election occurred in the year 1896 and he continued to hold the same post for well over a decade. In later years Mr. Naley engaged in the real estate and insurance business and met with a high degree of success. In his politics Mr. Naley was a Democrat and was active in the councils of his party. Mr. Naley was also active in social and fraternal circles at Manor, and was a member of the Philanthropy Lodge, No. 225, and is past master of the same. He was a member of Manor Valley Lodge, No. 879, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and represented his lodge at the Grand Lodge. He was also affiliated with the Junior Order of United American Mechanics at Jeannette; Royal Arcanum, of Manor Station; ? Council, No. 716, Ancient Order of United Workmen; and Jeannette Lodge, No. 369, of the Eastern Star.
