General Notes: Husband - Alfred W. Christy

---

He was reared on a farm in Cherry Township, Butler County, PA, and received his edu­cational training in the district schools and the West Sunbury Academy. He engaged in teaching school for some eight years, and after leaving that profession followed farming and engaged in the mercantile business in his native township, conduct­ing a store at Monata. He then, in Feb­ruary, 1887, moved to the borough of Slip­pery Rock. He purchased the store of Wilson & Sons, general merchants, which he conducted for eight years, then went on the road as traveling salesman for the shoe house of Stewart Brothers & Com­pany of Pittsburg. He continued with them for two years, after which he settled down in Slippery Rock, where his home had continued to be while on the road.
Religiously, the family were members of the Presbyterian church, of which he was a ruling elder. Politically, he was a Republican, and was frequently elected to public office. He served as justice of the peace and school director in Cherry township, and was at one time postmaster at Monata.
