General Notes: Husband - James Gourley

---

Reared as a farmer boy, he attended school in the old log school houses in his day, and profited as best he could by the limited curriculum then afforded. As he neared manhood he naturally became interested in agriculture, to which he added lumbering. His business extending beyond local limits, he moved in 1892 to Big Run, Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, where, as one of the members of the Big Run Milling Co., he commanded an extensive trade. He was also interested in lumbering on his own account. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., and was interested in local affairs of every nature. In politics he was a stanch Republican; but was not ambitious for public office. He did serve his community as a councilman of Big Run borough. He also served as school director. Mr. Gourley and his family were prominently identified with the social life of the town, and with the M. E. Church, in which he was a steward and trustee.
