General Notes: Husband - William Walter Potts

---

He attended school until he was sixteen years old, and at that age entered the employ of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis railroad, in the Cadiz (Ohio) office, remaining with that road until 1892. In that year he became identified with the First National Bank of Cadiz in the capacity of clerk, a relation existing until 1903, the years from 1897 to 1903 being passed as assistant cashier. The latter year witnessed his introduction to the business world of Beaver Falls, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, when he assumed the duties of secretary and treasurer of the Federal Title and Trust Company of that place, also taking a place on its directorate. This was not his first experience with the methods and transactions of corporations, for during his Ohio residence he assisted in the introducing of independent telephone companies into the region in which he lived, being one of the moving spirits in the organization of the Harrison County Telephone Company, of Cadiz, Ohio, of which he was secretary. He also played an important part in the reorganization of the Cadiz Gas Company, later operating as the Harrison Light and Fuel Company, and remained close to the directors of that company until it was firmly established. After taking up his residence in Beaver Falls he became a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and held membership in the Tamaqua Club; was also a member of the Masonic order, belonging to Parian Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons, of which he was a charter member; Cadiz Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and Beaver Valley Commandery, Knights Templar, being a charter member in the last three bodies. He and his wife were communicants of the Presbyterian church and he was a trustee of the church of that denomination at College Hill. [GPHWP, 104]
