General Notes: Husband - John P. St. Clair
He began his education in the public schools of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and later attended the academy there. He began his business career at an early age with the firm of Sutton, Lloyd & Co., in which he had an interest, but was with that concern only a short time when he left it to become a member of the firm of Loughry & St. Clair, his partner being W. R. Loughry. After a time Peter Sutton bought an interest in their business, which was subsequently conducted under the firm name of Sutton, Loughry & Co. In 1871 Mr. St. Clair severed his connection with this business to join his father in the milling business, he having a one-third interest and his father a two-thirds interest in the old Two Lick gristmill, which they bought and operated under the firm name of Thomas St. Clair & Son. In February, 1876, they sold the mill, and thereupon became engaged in the lumber business at Two Licks station, operating as the Two Licks Lumber Company, Limited. Continuing thus until 1879, they sold their property at the station that year and dissolved partnership, John P. St. Clair on Jan. 1, 1879, entering upon his duties as clerk to the county commissioners, to which position he had just been elected. He served three years in that incumbency. In 1882 he became a third owner of the flour mills at Homer City, having inherited the interest in this establishment, one of the oldest of its kind in Indiana county. Devoting his time to the management of these mills, and the extension of the business, he continued to operate them for a period of fifteen years, during which time he improved and refitted them throughout, increasing the capacity to seventy-five barrels daily. The mill property was valued at $25,000. Fire destroyed the building after Mr. St. Clair had conducted the business for fifteen years, and he thereafter gave his time and attention to other business matters, principally insurance, he being agent for the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, which he represented in Indiana, Westmoreland and Armstrong counties. He was also engaged in farming and stock dealing, and was interested in coal mining, having a coal bed on his farm which he operated.
Mr. St. Clair was independent in politics and his support of candidates. He served seven years as member of the school board, of which he was president and treasurer; and was a member of the borough council of Homer City for several years. He was an active member of the Presbyterian Church, which he has served as trustee and elder, and he was superintendent of the Sunday school for a number of years. He also taught the Bible class.
