General Notes: Husband - William E. Carothers

---

He was reared on the old Carothers homestead in Sewickley township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. In 1865, he removed to Fayette County.

He followed the occupation of farming for many years, gaining a comfortable competence which enabled him to spend the latter part of his life in the enjoyment of a well earned rest. He filled a number of public offices in Fayette County. His political support was given to the Republican party and he was affiliated with the Chartiers Presbyterian church.
