General Notes: Husband - James St. Clair

---

He attended common school in West Wheatfield township, Indiana County, Pennsylvania. For a time he worked with his father on the farm, afterward learning the trade of butcher, which he followed to some extent, later learning the carpenter's trade. Moving out to Dresden, Ohio, he lived there for fourteen years, engaged as carpenter foreman in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. On May 4, 1886, he moved back to West Wheatfield township and established a butcher shop at Bolivar, Westmoreland County, also running a meat wagon. He was an energetic man, always keeping busy. While in Ohio he was also a private detective in the employ of the Panhandle Railway Company; he acted as auctioneer; and besides looking after his other interests bought and sold oil wells in the oil region of Pennsylvania. He was a well-known man. He was a Republican in politics, and during the Civil war gave his services to the Union cause as a member of Company E, 11th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, being in the army for three years, twenty-six days. He served under Captain Piper and Col. Dick Colder. Mr. St. Clair was a member of the United Brethren Church during his residence in Ohio, but on his return to West Wheatfield township joined the United Presbyterian Church, to which he belonged the rest of his life.
