General Notes: Husband - George B. Lord

---

He was reared in his native township, and attended the public schools. At an early age he became a teacher, joining the ranks for the first time in the winter of 1862-63. At the age of nineteen he graduated from the Conneautville Academy, then a flourishing institution and embracing in its curriculum Latin and the higher mathematics. From that time he was continuously engaged in public-school work. Leaving Crawford County in 1869, he went to the state of Missouri and was the first principal of public schools at Bellingville, Cooper County, retaining that position eighteen months. He came to Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1871, and during the following ten years was connected successively with the schools of Tarr Farm, Rynd Farm, Petroleum Center, and Rouseville in Cornplanter township. In 1881 he accepted the principalship of the Pleasantville schools, and in June, 1884, was elected county superintendent. He was Presbyterian in faith. In politics Professor Lord was a Democrat. He was a member of the Royal Arcanum and A. O. U. W.
