General Notes: Husband - Charles B. Hollingsworth


He was born in Seneca County, Ohio, but when young was brought to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where his life was spent. After complete courses in the public schools he entered Washington and Jefferson College, there completing his studies. After leaving college he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, serving twelve years in a clerical capacity, and as agent at New Haven, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. Deciding to enter professional life he began the study of law under the direction of Walkinshaw & Banks, continuing a law student until 1896, when he was admitted to the Westmoreland County bar. He at once began practice in Greensburg, continuing until his enlistment for service in the war against Spain. After a year of military duty at home and abroad he returned to Greensburg and resumed practice. Soon afterward he formed a law partnership with H. E. Marker, practicing as Marker & Hollingsworth until 1913 in all State and Federal
courts of the district. In 1913 Robert E. Best was admitted a partner, but without change of firm name, the location of their offices was the Coulter building. The firm had a high standing at the Westmoreland bar, and in legal affairs was considered among the leaders. Mr. Hollingsworth was a member of the various bar associations.
During the Spanish-American War he served with Company I, Tenth Regiment Pennsylvania National Guard, enlisting as a private, returning with the rank of sergeant. He saw service with the regiment in the Philippines, stationed at Manila, covering a period of about one year.
A Democrat in politics, he rendered his party yeoman service as chairman of the county committee three terms, and as a member of the council served the interests of the entire borough. He was a member of the Presbyterian church; was a governor of the Greensburg County Club; member of the Oakmont Country Club, and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
