General Notes: Husband - John Dunlop Shugert

---

He was educated in the schools of Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and at the early age of fifteen received an appointment as clerk in the prothonotary's office of Centre County under John T. Hoover, and soon after commenced reading law in the office of Hon. Samuel Linn, and Feb. 2, 1860, was admitted to the bar. He immediately opened a law-office in Bellefonte, and for two years devoted himself energetically to the practice of his profession. Upon the election of Dr. J. B. Mitchell to the office of county treasurer, Mr. Shugert took charge of the business of the office, and continued in that position during Dr. Mitchell's term and that of his successor, John Shannon, Esq. Upon the expiration of Mr. Shannon's term, Mr. Shugert became his successor, filling the office of county treasurer during the years 1866 and 1867.
On the 6th of January, 1868, when the Centre County Banking Company was organized, Mr. Shugert was elected cashier, and filled that position for many years thereafter.
Mr. Shugert devoted much time and labor to projects for the development of the resources of Centre County, and to bringing to the notice of business men the riches that lie buried in the soil. All the railroad enterprises tending to benefit the county have received his earnest support, and to him the people were mainly indebted for a thorough geological survey of the county, which did much to attract the attention of capitalists to the iron and coal deposits within the borders. Mr. Shugert's prudent foresight was evinced in selecting one of the best of sites in the borough for the erection of a new bank building long before the company was ready to build, and his good taste, liberality, and judgment are amply evidenced in the bank building itself, which is a model for its convenience and security,-an architectural adornment of the borough, and a judicious investment of funds, in that the rent of its store and rooms pays the interest of the whole investment.
