General Notes: Husband - James Marshall Sterling


He was born at the old family homestead in Derry township, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania. He obtained a common school education, and followed farming on the home farm until 1887, when, upon his marriage, he farmed three years in Derry township, near the old place, and for six years in Salem township. In 1896 he was made police officer for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Derry, serving three years, when he was elected as chief of police for the borough of Latrobe. He was interested to quite an extent in the Latrobe brick works, a large plant, and also in other enterprises. Politically he was a staunch supporter of the Republican party principles. In church connections he was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Latrobe, of which he was made an elder in 1899, and he had held the same office at the old Salem church before coming to Latrobe to reside. He was a member of the I. O. O. F., at Derry, Pennsylvania, and of the W. of W., at Latrobe.
