General Notes: Husband - Rev. William McClellan Reily

---

He studied under Professor Rubey, at York, Pennsylvania, later attended school at Gettysburg, and in 1856 graduated at the Pennsylvania College. He spent two years at Princeton Theological Seminary, and one year at the Mercersburg Seminary. After a two years' sojourn in Europe in the further prosecution of his studies, he returned to America and served as theological tutor at Mercersburg. He soon assumed a pastoral charge at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, where he remained four years, after which he passed four years at Jonestown, Lebanon County, as pastor of the Reformed Church in that place. In 1873 he joined the faculty of the Palatinate College at Myerstown as Professor of Languages. In 1882 his work entitled, "The Artist and His Mission," was issued by Potter & Co., of Philadelphia. This volume, designated "A Study in Esthetics," engaged much favorable attention and commendation. Professor Reily was also at various times a free contributor to periodicals of the time, notably the Mercersburg Review, Potter's Monthly, and The Guardian.
