General Notes: Husband - Glenn G. Vance


He was born at Girard, Ohio, and spent the early years of his life in the various towns in which his father was stationed as pastor. He received his education at the various local public schools, and at Edinboro, Pennsylvania, Normal School. At the age of fifteen he took up the study of the cornet and in a few years became so proficient that offers came to him to travel with various musical organizations, and he followed cornet playing as a profession until about 1903. In 1896, the Greensburg City Band induced him to leave a position as cornetist in a theatre in Louisville, Kentucky, and locate at Greensburg, and for a number of years he was their director. He was one of the charter members of the Musicians' Union of Greensburg, which has now spread to take in most of the better musicians of the county. In 1901 he became associated with the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company as its local agent, and was so successful that a year later he was made district agent for Westmoreland county. A short time later Fayette County was added to his district, and on November 3, 1909, he was made general agent for Westmoreland, Fayette, Washington and Greene counties, maintaining offices in the Huff building.
