General Notes: Husband - Dr. George Wolf Reily


He was educated at the Harrisburg Academy and at Yale College, from which latter place he graduated in 1854. He studied medicine under his maternal uncle, Dr. Edward L. Orth, and in 1857 graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania. He was in the active practice of medicine for a number of years, but in 1870 upon being elected president of the Harrisburg National Bank he relinquished his profession, holding this position until his death. He was a director in many of the leading corporations of Harrisburg and of the Union Trust Company of Philadelphia. He was decidedly philanthropic in charitable work. In politics Dr. Reily was a Democrat, and in religious belief a Presbyterian, being for many years a member of the Market Square Presbyterian church.
