General Notes: Husband - George W. Deeds

---

He attended public school until fifteen years of age, then on his own responsibility began dealing in cattle and horses. He developed a keen business instinct and was successful in his dealing to such an extent that upon arriving at legal age he opened a livery stable in Ligonier, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in connection with an extensive business in the sale and exchange of horses. For fifteen years he continued in that line of activity, then sold out and established in Ligonier another business, real estate and insurance.
But his love for the farm and fine stock remained and from 1908 he was a breeder of pure blooded Percheron horses and Holstein cattle on his farm near Ligonier. This farm was one of the beautiful places of the valley and consisted of two hundred acres. He was one of the organizers of the South Ligonier Coal Company, and was treasurer of the prosperous corporation; he was a member of the firm of Deeds & Byers, of Ligonier, and a director of the First National Bank of Ligonier, of which he was one of the organizers.
A Democrat in his political views, he was long recognized as one of the strong men of his party and was a potent voice in party councils. His public service was long, varied and efficient. For five years he was justice of the peace, has served as borough councilman, as mayor of Ligonier, and in 1915 was elected county commissioner.
In religious affiliation he was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Ligonier; for many years he was one of the official board.
