General Notes: Husband - Hon. James McCafferty Galbreath
He was reared on the farm and obtained a primary education in the public schools of his home district. He subsequently attended State Lick Acad-emy, in Armstrong County, PA, and Witherspoon Institute at Butler. He was gradu-ated from Princeton College, at Princeton, New Jersey, in 1880, and immediately thereafter began the study of law under the direction of W. D. Brandon of Butler. After his admission to the bar in 1882, he practiced alone in Butler until 1884, then formed a partnership with J. B. McJunkin, a combination of legal talent which continued with uninterrupted suc-cess until his ascendancy to the bench. He was elected judge of the Court of Common Pleas in January, 1902, and his com-mission began the first Monday of Janu-ary, 1903. In politics, He was a Republican, and served six years as school direc-tor, ever evincing a deep interest in the cause of education. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church of Butler, which he served as trustee many years.
After the expiration of his judicial term he returned to private practice, forming a partnership for the practice of law in 1925 with his daughter, Edith B. Galbreath.
