General Notes: Husband - Hon. William Waugh

---

He came to Greenville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, with his parents in the spring of 1829, attended school in the Jamestown Academy, and in 1838 graduated at the Western University, Pittsburgh. He then read law with Pearson & Stewart, of Mercer, and was admitted to the bar December 28, 1842. He soon gave up the law profession, however, and engaged in other business. In 1850 he was appointed associate judge, and served until new judges were elected by popular vote, when he was not a candidate. In 1857 he was elected, on the Republican ticket, prothonotary of Mercer County, and re-elected to the same office, in which capacity he served six years. Judge Waugh was a leading spirit in the organization of the First National Bank of Greenville, in 1864, and was its first cashier. He filled that position until the death of the president, the late Samuel P. Johnston, in the autumn of 1875, when he was chosen president of the bank, and served in that capacity up to January, 1888.
From 1845 until 1848 he was editor and proprietor of the Mercer County Whig, at Mercer, and in the latter year was the nominee of the Whig party of Mercer County for the Legislature, but, because of his opposition to the division of the county, the Whigs in the southern part split off and defeated him.
