General Notes: Husband - Hugh S. Fleming
He was born in a small frame house which stood on what later became Federal street, at the base of the hill, [Allegheny City, Pennsylvania?]. He was reared by his uncle, after whom he was named, and through whom he was afforded opportunities for securing a fair English education. When fifteen years of age he entered the drugstore of H. P. Schwartz, on Federal street, with a view to learning the business. He remained there three years, and then embarked in the drug business on his own account, on Market street, Pittsburgh. He continued in active trade until 1841, when his store was burned out. By the death of his uncle, to whom he was deeply attached, he came into possession of quite an estate, and thenceforth devoted his attention to public affairs, and to various private enterprises in which he was interested. When he had just reached his majority he was elected to represent the Third ward of Allegheny in the common council, and subsequently, in 1842, and in 1859, served two other terms as representative from the same portion of the city, in the latter year being president of the common council. In 1850 he was elected mayor of Allegheny, and held the office three terms. In 1853 he was elected treasurer of Allegheny County.
In 1861 he recruited Co. K, 38th regiment, 9th P. R., and on May 4 was mustered into service and given a commission as captain. He was forced to resign after one year's service, on account of poor health. Mr. Fleming was a member of Post 128, G. A. R, to which body he presented the first stand of colors it ever received.
In 1870 he was elected sheriff of Allegheny County. In 1873, upon the death of Mayor A. P. Callon, of Allegheny City, Mr. Fleming was elected to serve the unexpired term, and donated the proceeds of the office to the widow of that gentleman. In 1877 he was elected president of the Third National Bank of Allegheny, and filled that position at his death. He was also a member of select council at the same time. By fortunate investments in real estate and other judicious speculations Mr. Fleming greatly enlarged his original estate, and left his family in very comfortable circumstances.
