General Notes: Husband - James Homer Remaley

---

For his education he attended the public school and Clark's School of Manordale, continuing at his studies until he had reached the age of sixteen. He then began working for his father in the latter's grist mill, remaining there for three years. At the end of that time he was given employment by his brother, M. F. Remaley, on his farm, and here he remained for one year, engaged in farm work. At the age of twenty, however, he secured employment as a locomotive fireman on the Pennsylvania railroad, working on the division between Pitcairn and Altoona. For two years and eight months he continued thus employed and at the end of that period returned to Export, where he began working for his brother, M. F. Remaley, who was engaged in the livery business. In 1915, after a year's employment, he purchased his brother's interest and built a handsome garage. He began the erection of this building in October, 1916, and completed it early in 1917. Its dimensions were seventy-five by eighty feet for the main building with the workshop in the rear, twenty by forty-five feet. The building had a capacity of sixty cars and was of brick fireproof construction and the first of its kind in Export, and centrally located. It was put up by the Remaleys themselves, they doing a large portion of the work personally. In this business he was associated with his brother, Wilson M. Remaley, and the firm was known as Remaley Brothers. They handled the Dodge car and International truck. He also opened a small coal mine situated about half a mile north of Export, where his operations proved successful.
He was a Democrat in politics, and served for one year in the office of constable for the borough of Export. He was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and of Lodge No. 952, Junior Order of United American Mechanics. In his religious belief he was a member of the Emmanuel Reformed Church.
