General Notes: Husband - Rev. Edwin Linton McIlvaine

---

His education, a most thorough one, reflecting credit upon his instructors and gaining honor for himself, was acquired as follows: The public schools of his home district; Washington and Jefferson Preparatory Department, from which he was graduated in 1891; Washington and Jefferson College, at Washington, Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in the class of 1895, cum laude and with the degree of Bachelor of Arts; the same institution conferred the degree of Master of Arts upon him in 1898; the Western Theological Seminary, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated May 5, 1898.
His career as a minister of the Gospel was a most successful one and covered a wide territory. As a minister in the Presbyterian church in the United States of America he was licensed by the Presbytery of Washington, in April, 1897, and ordained by the Presbytery of Pittsburgh, May 3, 1898. From April, 1897, until November, 1899, he was the supply and pastor at Castle Shannon, Pennsylvania, during which time he organized the congregation and raised it to a position of self-support. It was by his efforts that the first church building there was erected and he dedicated it free of debt. From November, 1899, until February, 1902, he served as pastor at Toronto, Ohio, where he placed the church whose duties he had assumed upon a practical and prosperous footing. By his efforts a large indebtedness which had been resting upon the church for a long period was practically wiped out. He was obliged to resign from this pastorate owing to physical weakness resulting from a serious surgical operation. His next charge was at Emlenton, Pennsylvania, where he remained from May, 1902, until April 1, 1907. When he took charge of this church, it was in a deplorable condition because of internal strife and dissension, and the influence exerted by Mr. McIlvaine was powerful enough to reconcile the contending factions, and with peace restored he was also enabled to work it up from a financial standpoint, so that when he resigned from it everything was in a most satisfactory condition. April 1, 1907, he entered upon his duties as pastor of the Presbyterian church at Ridgway, Pennsylvania. It was formerly the Congregational church and was reorganized by Mr. McIlvaine, and a stone church building erected in 1910. For many years Mr. McIlvaine was a member and strong supporter of the Republican party, but becoming dissatisfied with the corrupt political practices of those high in office in this body, he joined the ranks of the Independents. In 1912 he affiliated with the National Progressive party, and became one of its founders in Elk County, Pennsylvania. The only other organizations of which Mr. McIlvaine was a member were: The Burroughs Nature Club and the National Geographical Society.
