General Notes: Husband - William Myers Potter


He obtained his elementary education in the public schools. He attended State college for two years and a half, and then took a course in bookkeeping at Lewisburg Academy. Thus equipped for business life, he returned home, and for some time was employed in the office of Hoover, Hughes & Co., also working for W. P. Duncan, in his mine and coal office, and then spent four years as clerk in the Moshannon Bank. During the next two years he visited various points in the West, and on his return he remained two years with the Pardee Mine Co., as check weighman; then, after a short time in I. V. Gray's store as bookkeeper, he took a position as paymaster for R. B. Wiglan & Sons, remaining with them six years. Later he was secretary for the Philipsburg Electric Light Co., and the Philipsburg Water Co., being a stockholder in both.
