General Notes: Husband - John Stockton Slagle

---

He was born in Washington, Pennsylvania. He attended school in that place and then served with Mr. Cohn M. Reed, of Washington, for the purpose of learning the business of a merchant. In 1845 he went to Pittsburgh and worked in the stores of F. B. McConnell and of Mr. Shea. In 1849 he returned to Washington and went into business with his father in the harness and hardware business, and continued in it until 1855, when he went to live in Pittsburgh, where, for a short time, he was employed in a bank. He then became associated with the Shoenberger Iron Works, as bookkeeper from 1855 to 1862; then as a partner in the firm from 1863 to 1867, when he sold out in order to go into the firm of Coleman, Rahm & Co. He was a partner there from 1869 to 1872, when the company sold their property to the Allegheny Valley Railroad. He then went into the firm of Nimick & Co., iron and steel commission merchants, and was there from 1872 to 1893. He was president of the Duquesne Steel Company until it was merged with the Carnegie Company and was in the iron and steel commission business until his failing health forced his retirement from all business.
He was a school director and on the Board of Controllers of Allegheny City for many years, a member of the Board of Inspectors of the Western Penitentiary for eight years, a member of the Sanitary Commission throughout the war, a member of Allegheny City Councils and president of Common Council at the time of, and a very earnest worker for, the passage of the ordinance which made the Commons into the Parks. He was an elder in the First Presbyterian Church of Allegheny from 1868 until his death in December, 1906, a teacher of the Bible Class and superintendent of the infant department of its Sunday School for thirty-four years, and a director of the Western Theological Seminary for a number of years.
He was one of the original "Know-Nothings," which later became the Republican party.
