General Notes: Husband - Duncan Lawrence Swearingen

---

He obtained an excellent education in the public schools and Ada Normal University of Ohio. He lived on the home farm until he was fifteen years of age, later apprenticing himself to and learning the carpenter's trade, first locating in Beaver, Pennsylvania. In 1898 he moved to Sewickley, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, as the representative of the firm of Anderson & Cook, and in 1902 discontinued his connection with his employers and, with Gus Eudick, formed the firm of Eudick & Swearingen. This association lasted for only one year, after which Mr. Swearingen conducted an independent contracting and building business. His political convictions were strongly Republican, and fraternally he affiliated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, belonging to Sewickley Lodge, No. 692.
