General Notes: Husband - Hiram Stowe
His grandfather was a soldier of the revolution from Connecticut, and his father having purchased a farm near Warren, Ohio, in the western reserve, removed there with his family in 1808. Hiram being a man of enterprise and having a taste for mercantile pursuits, when quite young left his father's home and removed to Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where, in 1823, he embarked in business in the town of Beaver. In 1827 he removed to a village on the west side of the Beaver river, later known as Bridgewater, and entered into partnership with Mr. Darragh, then engaged in merchandising at that place, the firm becoming H. Stowe & Co. The business, which prospered, was continued until 1836, when Mr. Stowe, having been elected cashier of the Branch Bank of Pittsburgh, located in Beaver, retained that position until 1839, when the branch was withdrawn. He was after that date not actively engaged in any business of his own, but interested in a number of enterprises, and at his death was a director of the Western Insurance Company, and the People's Savings Bank, of Pittsburgh, as also of the Little Sawmill Run Railroad Company. He was at one time director of the Cleveland & Pittsburg Railroad Company.
