General Notes: Husband - William H. Cannon

---

He attended public schools in his native county, and in young manhood began his career in the retail mercantile business there. He continued along those lines until, in 1880, he came to Du Bois, Pennsylvania. After four years in different associations there, he went into business on his own account, opening a shoe store in partnership with a Mr. Hollister under the name of the Cannon-Hollister Company. Later Mr. Hollister died, whereupon Mr. Cannon continued the business under his own name until he sold the establishment to Fred J. Brown in 1926. Withdrawal from that business by no means meant retirement for Mr. Cannon, however, for he maintained his connections with other enterprises; he was president of the Jackson Vitrified China Corporation, treasurer and a director of the Du Bois Brewing Corporation and a director of the Du Bois Dairy Company. He was also a director of the Deposit National Bank.
He was a Republican in his political views. For ten years, between 1899 and 1909, Mr. Cannon served as a member of the board of education of Du Bois. In 1930 he again was elected to this board. He was active in Garfield Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, and in the Masonic Order he was affiliated with Williamsport Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite and Zem Zem Temple (Erie), Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He attended the Lutheran Church.
