General Notes: Husband - Henry McDonald Lorain


He was born in West Point, New York, where he remained until 1870. At the age of eighteen he entered the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, with the view of taking a four-years' course of civil engineering, but at the end of three years was compelled to leave school on account of ill health. During the winter of 1885-86 he attended Bryant & Stratton Business College, at Baltimore, Maryland. Coming to Philipsburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania, in April, 1886, he entered the service of Holt & Chipman as mining engineer, and remained with the company for over ten years, although it several times changed hands, lastly being known as the Coaldale Mining Co. He first studied to be a civil engineer, but gave it up as he preferred mining engineering, in which he was very successful.
