General Notes: Husband - Labanna H. Walter


He was born in Washington township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and there attended the public schools. In September, 1864, he enlisted in Company H, Fifteenth Regiment Pennsylvania Cavalry, and was a member of that company until the final declaration of peace, participating in several hard-fought engagements without receiving a wound of any kind. For the fifteen years following the war he engaged in work at the blacksmith's trade in Westmoreland and Armstrong counties, in the autumn of 1882 moving to Mansfield (later Carnegie), where he then made his home. His beginning in business there was as the employee of several real estate dealers, a line in which he later established independently, continuing with marked success. He was also the representative of some of the leading insurance companies of the country. He was a charter member and an organizer of the Anchor Building and Loan Association, and was an officer thereof beginning from its formation, and filled all of the official positions including serving as treasurer.
In political matters he never took active part, casting his ballot with the Republican party. With his wife he was a member of the Presbyterian church, and in the organization of that body served in several of the offices, including as elder. He belonged to the Grand Army of the Republic and to the Royal Arcanum.

For some years he was a notary public.
