General Notes: Husband - James Sloan Cochran

---

He was reared on the old home place in Boggs township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, the farm later owned by his son John Dick Cochran. For a time he was at Parker, engaged in the manufacture of brick, and then moved to Washington township, where he kept a boarding house during the period of the Civil war. He then settled on part of his father's homestead, a tract of 114 acres which he improved very materially, replacing the log buildings with more substantial structures. Few men of his day were better known than Mr. Cochran. He taught school for ten winters, during the days when the teacher boarded some of the pupils, and during the greater part of his life he held township office. He was auditor of Armstrong County one year, at the time of his election to that position polling the largest vote ever received by a Democratic nominee. He was also a candidate for member of the State Legislature. A prominent member of the United Presbyterian Church, he served a number of years as elder, and helped to build various churches in his section. [HAC 1914, 489]
