General Notes: Husband - William T. Cowan

---

He was born on the homestead farm in Baldwin township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and later occupied a part of the farm on which he was born. He was educated in the public schools, and spent his early life on the farm. He began business life as proprietor of the Bell House in West Liberty, Pennsylvania, running that hotel three years. He then ran the Castle Shannon House, at Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania, for three years. He then returned to farming, renting the Wilson farm for five years. In 1883 he moved to another home on the Brownsville road, having inherited forty-five acres of the Cowan homestead. During the years thereafter, he was engaged in the real estate business and developed several residence additions, including a forty-acre tract from the Stauffer farm in Baldwin township and the Marysville addition to the bor­ough of Carrick. He was also interested in the Colonial Trust Company of Pittsburgh, and was well known in the business world as a man of energy and probity. He was a Republican in politics, served as township supervisor and for six years was justice of the peace.
