General Notes: Husband - Emanuel Shearer

---

He was born in Franklin Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared and engaged in farming and stock raising until 1900. He then disposed of the coal beds under his farm land, and came to Washington County, where he purchased the old Allen farm of 188 acres at Eighty-four, North Strabane Township. Here for four years he engaged in agricultural pursuits, then sold his land, reserving the coal beds, and moved to Washington, where he then lived in retirement.
In August, 1909, Mr. Shearer sold the balance of his property in Fayette County for $15,000, receiving $7,500 for the coal under five acres which he had formerly retained.
