General Notes: Husband - Harry L. Probst

---

He received his early education in the public schools of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. He was variously employed for a number of years and finally entered the employ of the Westinghouse Electric Company of Pittsburgh, where he remained for a number of years. He then became identified with the White Motor Company.
He was actively identified with the State Militia, enlisting in Company I, Tenth Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, for service in the Spanish-American War and served throughout that conflict, taking part in all of the important battles and held the rank of sergeant. When his time of enlistment expired with the Tenth, he reenlisted in Company A, Fourteenth Pennsylvania Regiment, and was commissioned second lieutenant. This body was eventually transformed into an artillery squadron and Mr. Probst was advanced to the rank of first lieutenant. He accompanied this body to the border of Mexico, where it performed guard duty for a number of months. He was a Republican in politics.
