General Notes: Husband - John L. Cockins

---

He was educated in the common schools and took a commercial course in the Iron City Business College at Pittsburgh, and after his return home engaged in farming, operating the old home farm in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, until 1875, in which year he moved to Canonsburg. He continued to own the old homestead, together with another farm in Mt. Pleasant Township, a third farm in West Finley Township and still another, situated at Dinsmore Station, in Smith Township. His interests in realty at Canonsburg were also extensive and he was connected with the Canonsburg Land Company, the Alexander Land Company and the Cockins and Johnston plat of lots in Canonsburg. He was interested in other concerns, being a director as well as vice president of the First National Bank and a stockholder in the Canonsburg Steel and Iron Works.
He was always identified with the Republican party, but did not seek office. He did, however, serve as a justice of the peace for a quarter of a century. Also, he served on the school board. He was a leading member of the Chartiers United Presbyterian Church, an elder in the same, and did much to promote the Sunday-school and for some 33 years served as assistant superintendent and as treasurer.
