General Notes: Husband - Jacob Alvin Slaughenhoupt

---

He remained at home until he was seventeen years of age, in the meanwhile assisting his father and attending the district school situated some three miles from the homestead. When he started out for himself he first found employment with neighboring farmers, after which he worked on the grading of the narrow-gauge railroad then being constructed between Foxburg and Kane, Pennsylvania. Two years later he went to Brookville and there engaged in teaming and was married there and shortly afterward rented a farm in Jefferson County, which he cultivated for one year. After a prospecting tour in Florida, he returned to Pennsylvania and in the fall of 1886 settled at DuBois and for the five succeeding years was in the employ of John DuBois in the logging camps in the lumber regions. In 1891, he went into railroad work and for two years worked as fireman on the B. R. & P. Railroad. Mr. Slaughenhoupt then made his first independent business venture, embarking in the dairy business which he conducted until 1895, when he had the opportunity of buying the already established grocery business of M. Manthe, of which he took advantage. This store was located at No. 42 S. Brady Street, almost opposite the post office. He owned additionally a half interest in the Keesage meat market on S. Brady Street and was a stockholder in the Union Banking and Trust Company as well as in the United Electric and Traction Company.
He was president of the DuBois Business Men's Asociation in 1908 and 1909. He was a charter member of the order of American Mechanics at DuBois and belonged also to the Odd Fellows and Masons, in the latter fraternity being a member of the Blue Lodge at DuBois, the Chapter at Brookville, the Consistory at Williamsport and the Shrine at Altoona.
In politics he was a Democrat. The family belonged to the Reformed church.
