General Notes: Husband - Col. Millard Fillmore Null


He obtained his education in the public schools of Westmoreland county, PA, and by a course in Milton Academy. He went from the school room to serve as an assistant for the engineering corps that laid out the South-western Pennsylvania railway. He also taught school in his native county for seven terms. He again took up surveying and mine engineering for a number of years, part of the period in Fayette county, Pennsylvania. Later he became associated with the H. C. Frick Coke Company at its central works as timekeeper, paymaster and superintendent, serving in all fourteen years. Politically, he inherited Republicanism from his father. In 1883 his party induced him to become a candidate for surveyor, but notwithstanding he ran over five hundred ahead of his ticket, his party was not victorious. From that date he took a more active part in politics, and in 1900 was elected as prothonotary of Westmoreland county and re-elected in 1903. At the time when the Central High school of East Huntingdon township was established, he was a director and had much to do towards its establishment. He was connected with the Presbyterian church beginning in 1885, first at his old home and after 1901 as a member of the First Presbyterian church of Greensburg. He was an honored member of the Masonic fraternity, belonging to K. C. of K. T. Lodge, No. 18 at Greensburg.
