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.
