General Notes: Husband - George Walker Plumer
He was reared and educated in Franklin, Venango County, PA, attending the public schools and the old academy. In 1858 he went to Pittsburgh to get a little business experience, and after clerking two years in a dry goods house there returned to Franklin, where he entered the employ of his brothers, D. C. and M. A. Plumer, who were engaged in the same line. Before long he formed a partnership with J. P. Park, with whom he carried on a hardware business for a few years, later becoming associated with G. W. & A. A. Plumer, hardware merchants, with whom he was connected until 1884. In 1887 he removed to Akron, Ohio, where he was established for over a quarter of a century, following the mercantile business and banking, in which lines he was prominent and influential, besides having many other outside interests in manufacturing. For a number of years he was president of the Security Savings Bank of Ak-ron, and after withdrawing from active association with business retained the responsibilities of president of the Abstract Title & Guaranty Company and vice president of the Permanent Building & Loan Association. He was also a leader in the work of the Methodist Church at Akron as he had been at Franklin, having served as trustee at both places. In 1914, he removed to the city of Cleveland, Ohio, where he had his home at No. 1886 East 101st Street.
He was one of the early members of Mayes Post, G. A. R., of Franklin, later joining Buckley Post, at Akron, Ohio. In 1888 he became affiliated with the Ohio Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion. During the Civil war he enlisted, in 1862, in the 121st Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and having been promoted to first lieutenant of Company E served in that rank until 1864, when he resigned on account of disability, after seeing considerable active duty, including the Gettysburg and Fredericksburg campaigns. He had membership in Myrtle Lodge, No. 316, F. & A. M., of Franklin, PA, which he joined as early as 1864, and belonged to the consistory bodies at Cleveland. [CAB, 513]
