General Notes: Husband - Curtis Copeland Noss


He was born at the old Noss homestead, opposite Vanport, Beaver County, Pennsylvania. He was educated in the public schools of Beaver County, from which he was graduated, and was then sent to take a complete course in Williams' Actual Business College in Pittsburgh. His entrance into business life was as a pilot on a river boat, and he held the rank of captain when he retired from this labor after about twenty-five years. He touched at Pittsburgh, Louisville, and many other important points and cities. Later he became a dealer in real estate, taking charge of all of his own enormous interests and those of others. He was one of the organizers of the Rochester Trust Company, and vice-president from 1902 until 1911, when he was elected to the presidency. He was for many years greatly interested in the improvement of the Ohio river, and in 1902 called to his office a representative group of men and helped organize the Dravo Waterways Association, having the improvement of the Ohio river in view. He was a member of the school board of Freedom, and a director of the Rochester General Hospital. He was active in the councils of the Republican party. He laid out many lots in the town, and greatly increased the real value of the property. For many years he was a member of the Beaver Valley Country Club, and he was also a member of the order of Free and Accepted Masons, and was a Knight Templar. [GPHWP, 121]
