General Notes: Husband - John Ageman

---

He received a good public school education, and at the age of thirteen years commenced working in a glass factory, and was identified with the glass industry in various capacities for many years. In 1878, in association with a few other men, the Beaver Falls Cooperative Glass Company was organized, in which Mr. Ageman was a director and held other official positions. When this project was first discussed, a committee was chosen to go to Beaver Falls and select a suitable site for the proposed plant. This was decided upon close to the tracks of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroad, as offering the best facilities for the transportation of the manufactured goods, and the necessary buildings were constructed there. Mr. Ageman was a leading spirit throughout these proceedings, and remained so throughout his connection with the enterprise. Mr. Ageman gave his staunch support to the Republican party. His fraternal affiliation was with the Knights of Pythias.
