General Notes: Husband - James Herron

---

He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and received his early education at the subscription and public schools of the vicinity. Being left an orphan, he had to commence life for himself at an early age, and when sixteen years of age was apprenticed to Thomas McKee, a blacksmith of Pittsburgh, with whom he remained about ten years. He then purchased the shop, and conducted the business for five years, when he entered the employ of the Lippincott Manufacturing Company. In 1859 he purchased an interest in the store of his brother-in-law, William F. Barclay, at Coal Bluff, Washington County. Mr. Herron served as postmaster of that place during the Civil war, but, resigning this position in June, 1865, opened a general merchandise store in the village of California.
Politically he was a Republican, but later became a Prohibitionist; in religion he was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.
