General Notes: Husband - William James Imbrie

---

He grew to maturity on the home farm, attending first the nearby district school, later Darlington Academy, and for one term Elder's Ridge Academy. His preparatory studies completed, he enrolled in the classical course at Washington and Jefferson College, whence he was graduated in 1878, then returning to the home farm. Agricultural pursuits had held no place in his plan of future conduct, but owing to his father's failing health it was necessary for him to have a reliable and responsible manager, and Mr. Imbrie was prevailed upon to remain at home and accept the duties that there awaited him. This change led him into the farmer's occupation, and in that business he remained, despite his previous plans or ambitions. He became the possessor of a flock of merino sheep unrivaled in the vicinity and equaled by few in the country. He inherited this originally from his father, but he gradually introducing a higher breed and removed the members of less desirable qualities until he raised the grade appreciably.
For four terms Mr. Imbrie served his township as auditor, previously as a Republican but later as an Independent, and he was an elder of the Reformed Presbyterian church.
