General Notes: Husband - Albert J. Carson


He spent the early years of his life at home with his parents, acquiring a good education in the public schools of the neighborhood. Upon attaining the years of manhood he went to Apollo, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in 1881, and secured a position in the mills of the Apollo Iron and Steel Company in the capacity of doubler. Here he remained for some time and was then advanced to the position of pair heater. He was again advanced, this time to the position of sheet heater, and in 1896 was made sheet roller. Upon the opening of the new mills at Vandergrift he was transferred to that place and was one of the first rollers to assist in the operation of the new mills.
He was a staunch supporter of the Republican party and held a number of public offices. He was county committeeman and served three years as a member of the Apollo borough council, and two years on the borough council of Vandergrift. He and his family are members of and regular attendants at the Presbyterian church.
