General Notes: Husband - William May Galbraith

---

He received an excellent preparatory education in public and private schools, and the Sewickley Academy, and after leaving this institution was associated four years with J. Warren Lytle in the conduct of the Oakdale Academy. In association with the same gentleman he founded the Pittsburgh Academy, and was connected with the management of this for a period of two years. Mr. Galbraith had been awarded a permanent teacher's license when he was twenty-two years of age, but he had always entertained the idea of fitting himself for the legal profession, and he accordingly commenced reading law in the offices of Judge Christopher Magee and Henry A. Davis, and was admitted to the bar in 1886. Subsequently, from 1893 to 1899, he was a partner of Mr. Davis but when Mr. Davis retired from practice on account of illness, Mr. Galbraith practiced alone, and never again took a partner. He is engaged in civil practice only, making a specialty of corporation law. He is the attorney for the Carnegie Trust Company and the First National Bank of Carnegie. He is a member of the Allegheny County Bar Association, and was one of the organizers of the above mentioned corporations. He gives his political support to the Republican party, and served a number of years as borough solicitor. Since 1880 he has lived at Carnegie, his residence being at No. 815 Washington avenue. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church, and he was also a member of the Royal Arcanum. [GPHWP, 156]

Another source says he was born in March, 1856.
