General Notes: Husband - Eugene P. Gillespie


After receiving the advantages which the public schools afforded, he entered Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, in 1868, where he spent two years. Late in 1870 he entered St. Michael's College, Toronto, Ontario, and was a student of that institution till June, 1872, when he received his certificate of graduation. Returning to Greenville he began reading law with his father, and was admitted to the Mercer bar August 18, 1874. He was thereafter engaged in the active duties of his profession, and built up a large and successful practice. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, a leading politician of the Democratic party, and one of the best known attorneys of the county.
