General Notes: Husband - John Shaner

---

He attended pub­lic school in his native county, and continued to live at home, assisting his father, until he was twenty-two years old. After that he was in the employ of Mrs. Owens for two years, doing farm work, and for one year employed elsewhere. He then married and started farming on his own account, on the old family homestead. After living there for two and a half years he removed to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he took care of his brother Daniel's coal land, looking after the latter's interests during his service and absence on account of the Civil war. He then removed to the David Kepple farm in what is now Parks township, remaining there for about one and a half years, after which he bought the James Hunter farm of 107 acres in Parks township. It lay three miles above Leechburg, along the Kiskiminetas river, and became a valu­able piece of property under his intelligent cultivation and excellent management. Mr. Shaner had the good fortune never to lose a day's work because of illness during his residence there, and even when he was in his eightieth year was still actively interested in the farm work. He served his fellow citizens in the office of township supervisor, and for six years he was an elder of the First Lutheran Church of Leechburg, in which he held membership. He was identified with the Republican party in politics.
