General Notes: Husband - Elias Shakely


He spent his boyhood on the home farm and secured his education in the country schools. His early training gave him a taste for an agricultural life, and for twenty-eight years he engaged in farming and even after moving into Butler, Pennsylvania, still owned a farm of 130 acres in Butler Township. He carried on ex-tensive farming during this time and dealt largely in stock, and also developed oil in paying quantities on his land. He also ac-quired a large amount of valuable realty in Butler.
