General Notes: Husband - John Waugh


He and Gen. James Power purchased the store of his father and uncle, and then, as Power & Waugh, removed it to the east side of the Shenango, and were leading merchants of Greenville. They were also large canal contractors, and in connection with Charles M. Reed, of Erie, Pennsylvania, built the first blast furnace in Greenville, which they operated a few years at a large financial loss. He was also one of the prominent stock dealers of Mercer County, and one of its well-known citizens.
