General Notes: Husband - Capt. Edward West
He was born on the old family homestead in Mifflin township, Allegheny County, PA. He was reared and educated in that county, where he farmed in early life, and at the age of sixteen floated coalboats during the winter for several years. Subsequently he was two years in the wholesale business in Pittsburgh, with the firm of Hill, West & Co., then sold out and bought stock in a steamboat, of which he became the captain. His first boat was the Boston, and he subsequently was captain of the Kangaroo and Willie Austen. In 1885 he sold his interest in the boats, and the following year made a trip west; thence to St. Andrew's Bay, FL, where he merchandised, and later he came to reside in Homestead, PA. He was a member of the A. F. & A. M., of the I. O. O. F. and is a democrat.
