General Notes: Husband - John A. Richey

---

He received a public school education, and subsequently learned the baker's trade in Pittsburg, PA. In 1869 he established a bakery at Butler, PA, in partnership with his father, but in 1870 he removed to Greece City, Butler County, and remained there three years. In 1873 he was appointed county detective, which position he filled for five years, and in 1879 engaged in the hotel business at Karns City. Three years later he opened a hotel at Renfrew, which he carried on for five years, and then returned to Butler, where he established a bakery and confectionery and also engaged in the ice business. Politically, he was a Democrat, and was a candidate for clerk of courts in 1874, but was defeated in the convention by only one vote. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., and K. of P., and was an adherent of the Protes­tant Episcopal church.
He and his wife had one child, who died in youth.
