General Notes: Husband - Thomas B. Conway
His father died when he was but two years of age. He attended the common schools and acquired a fair education. At the age of seventeen he went forth into the world to do for himself. In 1846 he had charge of a construction train as conductor, which occupation he followed for nine years; being also a foreman of construction of the Cleveland & Pittsburgh R. R. when it was built. In the year he was married, he came to Vanport, and made that his home, being the possessor of two residences there. He followed the lime business after his marriage, and was well known throughout the county as a manufacturer of the Beaver county gray lime. He and his wife were prominent members of the Presbyterian church, Bridgewater. In politics, he was a staunch Republican, and held various positions on the school board of this place.
