General Notes: Husband - Thomas Harvey Craig
He was born on a farm in Butler County, Pennsylvania, near Karns City. When he was three years old his parents, sold this farm and bought one of ninety-five acres near Tidal, Armstrong County, and there he grew to manhood. He attended the local schools, but at seventeen he decided he had had enough school and must go to work. So he obtained a position in the coal mines of Armstrong County, and pursued that occupation for twenty years. After marriage he established his home in Armstrong County, and one year later removed to Butler County, where he lived at Bruin Station for two and a half years. He then removed to Cheswick, Pennsylvania, where he remained for three years. Returning to the old home in Armstrong County, he was there for about three years and a half. In 1898 he removed to New Kensington, Westmoreland County, which had been then but recently incorporated and many of the improvements were lacking. Mr. Craig had a natural aptitude for mechanics and an unusual dexterity in the use of tools. His father had always had a great many tools of all kinds about and had allowed the boys to make use of them. This ability to turn his hand to almost anything often served Mr. Craig in good stead. Mr. Craig was a Republican all his life, and was elected on that ticket in 1914 to the city council. Thereafter many improvements were carried out in the administration of the city, paving having been laid, etc.
He was a member of the Knights of Malta for two years, and belonged also to the Patriotic Order of the Sons of America and to the Ancient Order of United American Mechanics.
