General Notes: Husband - Isaac B. McLaughlin


He was reared on the home farm, and had the educational opportunities afforded by the local schools. During his early manhood he was engaged at lumbering in Michigan, and later followed the same line of work in his home state of Pennsylvania, lumbering and rafting in Elk County from 1881 to 1884. Moving back to Jefferson County he settled at Summerville, and for a short time was employed at farming. When the borough of Summerville was organized he was elected constable and continued to fill that position for sixteen years. In 1905 he was elected justice of the peace, and retained in the office by repeated reelections, for several terms. He also served the borough as school director and member of the council, and for over eight years was the representative of the State board of health in the district. In 1896 he was elected county auditor, and again in 1912. He was a Republican in party connection. He was a member of the Odd Fellows, served for eighteen years as secretary of Summerville lodge, and for three years was district deputy grand master.
