General Notes: Husband - Claud C. Hoffman

---

He was graduated from the Barkyville Academy, and then went to the Welch Business College, Oil City, to com­plete his preparation for a career. He started in railroading with the Pennsylvania Railroad System, and was a division timekeeper for about two years. Then he went with the National Transit Company, of Oil City, where during seventeen years he was employed in various posi­tions from chief clerk to assistant sales manager.
The failing health of his father required his presence in the family home, and in 1924 he returned to Clinton­ville and after that time he was a resident of his native town. Shortly after the death of the older man, he became bookkeeper in the Peoples Bank; learned the varied phases of the banking business, and after being cashier for some time was, in 1930, elected a director and vice-president and continued as cashier of the institution.
He frequently was drafted for public service by local organizations, and was a member of the board of directors of the Franklin Hospital; member of the board of directors of the Clintonville Volunteer Fire Department; treasurer of the Boys' Club of Oil City; and was a member of the Oil City Council. Frater­nally Mr. Hoffman was affiliated with the Blue Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of Emlenton, the Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, of New Castle, and the Order of Perfection, Oil City, all in Pennsylvania. He was a member of the session and an elder of the Presbyterian Church.
