 General Notes:
J. Michael Mathias acquired a good common school education, and at the age of sixteen commenced to earn his own living, engaging in farm work. Two years later he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad as a laborer, and his faithful and efficient work won for him a promotion in 1880 to foreman, a position which he has since retained, and in which he renders highly acceptable services. Politically he accords with the principles advanced by the Democratic party, and served for six years as a school director. He is a member of the Lutheran church, and of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, No. 885, of Scottdale, in which he has passed all the chairs.
J. married Fane Kelly, daughter of James Kelly and Christina.
