WILLIAM M. STACKHOUSE druggist and insurance agent, P.O. 
Emilie, was born in Emilie, march 9, 1849, and is a son of 
Jesse L. and Mary B. (Headley) Stackhouse, who were of 
English origin.  His father was a general insurance agent 
and also dealt in real estate for many years.  His family 
consisted of three children, of whom William M. is the 
second.  He was reared in Emilie, attending the schools 
there and also attended Pennsylvania State College, where he 
graduated in 1869 with the degree of B. S.  He then 
commenced clerking in a drug-store and soon embarked in 
business for himself.  He very naturally took up the 
insurance business, having been in his father's office as an 
assistant, and has been thus engaged since.  His mother died 
in 1876, his father following in 1879, and his brother J. H. 
in 1875.  Mr. Stackhouse was married in 1874 to Anna S. 
Headley, who is of English and Irish descent.  Their 
children are:  Charles H. and Jesse T.  In politics Mr. 
Stackhouse is a democrat.  He is school-director in the 
township and is a Royal Arch Mason.
