General Notes: Husband - Judge James Torrence

---

He learned the trade of tanning in Allegheny city, Pennsylvania, and followed that business for twenty years. He came to Punxsutawney, Jefferson County, when a young man, and successfully operated a large tannery in the centre of the town until 1866, when he retired from active business except dealing in real estate. In 1859 he was elected associate judge of that county, on the republican ticket and served for three years. He began life without any capital, and by close attention to business eventually becoming worth sixty or seventy thousand dollars, besides owning some real estate in his town. He was an active republican and a member of the Presbyterian church.
