General Notes: Husband - Henry S. Coshey

---

At an early age he learned the cabinet-making trade and was employed in this occupation from 1853 to 1858, at the same time having been identified with the undertaking business. In 1858 he engaged in business on his own account and continued as a furniture dealer in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, until 1879, when he sold his stock and started an undertaking and general livery business in the same town, in which he engaged, with the assistance of his sons. He was associated with this establishment for nearly a quarter of a century, having been located in the same place during that long period. In 1905, with the expansion of his business, Mr. Coshey bought the ground at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Tunnell streets, where he erected a large brick building. This building was ninety by one hundred and twenty-five feet and was three stories in height. A suite of rooms for the undertaking offices and the morgue were on the first floor, and it was one of the finest business houses in the city. The livery business was also a large one and there were twenty-five horses for hire, and board for from seventy to seventy-five more. There were ten closed carriages for funeral occasions and three hearses.
The Cosheys were members of the Reformed church, and were affiliated with the Democratic party.
