General Notes: Husband - Cadmus Z. Gordon


He received his education in the public schools, the academy at Corsica, Pennsylvania, and finishing with a course at Yale College, graduating from its scientific department in 1878. His natural ability led him into the law, and he began his legal studies in the office of Jenks & Clark, completing his course in the office of Gordon & Corbet. He was admitted to the bar in September, 1880. During the middle eighteen-nineties he formed a partnership with Harry R. Wilson which continued for some time, their office being at Clarion. Mr. Gordon was almost exclusively devoted to his profession, laboring zealously in the interests of his clients and incidentally working for the raising of legal standards, qualifications of lawyers and efficiency in court methods, all of which underwent considerable change during his career. He was a director of the National Bank of Brookville.
