General Notes: Husband - Alexander Speer

---

His education was secured in Chartiers Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Until the age of eighteen years he worked on a farm, then learned the bricklaying trade, which he followed for a long period, and he helped to build the majority of the houses on Jefferson street, Canonsburg. He then resided in his own home there, which, at the time it was erected by him was located in Chartiers Township, but was later included in the borough. A Republican in political matters, Mr. Speer was an active worker in the ranks of his party in that section, and served as a member of the council and as treasurer of the borough. He belonged to the United Presbyterian Church.
