General Notes: Husband - George W. Showers

---

He was educated in the subscription schools of the time. During his boyhood his parents located in Centerville, Pennsylvania, where he became acquainted with the details of carpentering and cabinet making under his father's instructions, while assisting also in hotel work. He was an excellent mechanic, and for many years followed his trade in Centerville. In his later years he carried on a mercantile business there, as a member of the firm of Walter & Showers, and he owned and cultivated a small tract of land in the same vicinity. He gained a comfortable competence. Notwithstanding the temptations of hotel life he was a total abstainer, never under any circumstances indulging in intoxicants or tobacco.
In politics he was a Democrat, but beyond being a regular voter he paid little attention to public affairs, although he served as school director. In religious work he took an active part as a member of the Lutheran Church, in which he held the office of deacon. He was of less than medium height, stout, and apparently healthy, but he died very suddenly of apoplexy at the comparative early age of forty-seven years.
