General Notes: Husband - James Stoneman Carmichael
He was educated at Edinboro State Teachers College; admitted to the practice of the law at Franklin, PA, and became one of the leading attorneys of Venango County; member of the I. O. O. F. lodge and the Methodist Church; he made one of the principal orations at the Henderson Centennial Reunion at Hendersonville, PA, August 22, 1895.
He was born in Worth Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. After an elementary education in the public schools of the community, he attended high school in the neighboring towns of Sandy Lake and Grove City, and entered the Edinboro State Normal School, from which he was graduated in the class of 1878. Mr. Carmichael taught for three terms, and began the study of law in the office of John McKissick, of Franklin, Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the bar in June, 1881, and established himself in practice forthwith. For nine years he was alone, but in 1890 he formed a partnership with R. W. Dunn, which continued for ten years, when Mr. Dunn's withdrawal on account of ill health again left Mr. Carmichael alone, and he practiced independently from that time until his death. He was active in various interests of the community, civic, industrial and fraternal. He was a director of the Lake Erie, Franklin & Clarion Railroad, and its general counsel. He was also attorney for the Erie Railroad. He was a lifelong Democrat, and served for five years as chairman of the Democratic County Committee. Twice he was elected a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Fraternally he held membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows; and he was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
