General Notes: Husband - Clinton E. Sankey

---

He was reared in his native place, and his common school education was followed up with a one year's course at the Geneva College of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Upon completing his education at the latter institution, at the age of nineteen, he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania R. R. in the warehouse, and within six months was promoted to a clerkship, which he filled for some five years. After resigning his clerkship, he went into business with Mr. Marquis, under the firm name of Marquis & Sankey, but the partnership was only continued six months, for Mr. Sankey became dissatisfied, and sold out to his partner to accept the position of traveling salesman for C. J. Kirk, a dealer in hardware, in whose employ he continued about one year. On his return from a pleasure trip to Denver, he again accepted a position with the Pennsylvania R. R. as transfer agent at Lawrence Junction, and remained with the company two years, when he became, in August, 1895, cashier for the W. N. Y. & P. R. R.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, while his wife was united with the Baptist Church. In politics, he was a Republican, and served three years as councilman and also as director of schools in West New Castle. Socially, he was a member of the following organizations: Improved Order Red Men, Erie Tribe, No. 252; Fidelis Lodge, No. 460, Knights of Pythias; and Uniformed Rank, No. 36.
