General Notes: Husband - W. Scott Halfpenny


The foundation of his education was laid in Lewisburg, Union County, Pennsylvania, at the public schools and the academy, but his course there was supplemented by further study in the Tuscarora Academy in Juniata County, and in Bryant & Stratton's Business College, at Philadelphia. Thus equipped for business, he entered his father's employ as bookkeeper, later becoming a partner, taking the position of secretary and treasurer of the Lewisburg Woolen Company, and manager of their extensive plant.
His family was identified with the Presbyterian Church in the past, and Mr. Halfpenny inclined toward that faith. Politically, he was a Republican, and he was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity.
