General Notes: Husband - Buell B. Whitehill


His early education was obtained in the public schools of Brookville, Pennsylvania, and after graduating from the Brookville high school, in 1897, he entered Allegheny College, at Meadville, Pennsylvania, where he completed the course in 1904. Meantime he had become court stenographer for the courts of Jefferson County, and he continued to hold that position while attending college and while pursuing his law studies, in his father's office, being admitted to the bar in this county in March, 1912. He was official court stenographer of the Jefferson County courts for fifteen years, of Clarion County courts for three years, of Indiana County courts for five years, and has done a great deal of court and general official reporting over central and western Pennsylvania in particular. He had law offices with his father until the latter's death, and subsequently cared for a lucrative general practice in Brookville, to which he devoted most of his time after he gave up his work as court stenographer, in January, 1916.
He was active in the Presbyterian Church and Sunday school, and for five years of his residence in Brookville served as a member of the borough school board, and was elected President of the board in December, 1915. Fraternally he was a Mason, belonging to Hobah Lodge, No. 276, F. & A. M. (master in 1900, and later secretary); Jefferson Chapter, No. 225, R. A. M., of Brookville (high priest in 1911, and later secretary); Bethany Commandery, No. 83, K. T., of DuBois, Pa.; and Jaffa Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Altoona.
