General Notes: Husband - George S. Deeds


He received a general education in the public schools of Ligonier, Pennsylvania, and after graduating from Ligonier High School, class of 1924, attended the Pennsylvania State College for two and a half years. He then returned to Ligonier and became associated with his father in the real estate and insurance business. When the elder Deeds passed away, he took over the firm, and conducted it with outstanding success. In conjunction with his business enterprises he also took a keen and active interest in civic and political affairs. He was borough clerk beginning in 1934, justice of the peace in 1936, and from 1932 to 1934, served as a member of the town council. Like his father he was a Democrat in his party affiliations. Mr. Deeds was a secretary of the Ligonier Board of Trade, fraternized with the Blue Lodge of the Free and Accepted Masons, Tall Cedars of Lebanon, belonged to the Ligonier Country Club and worshiped at the Methodist Episcopal Church. As a student in college he was a member of the Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity, and during the first World War, while a Boy Scout, he sold more Liberty Loan bonds than any other member of the Boy Scouts of America, in Westmoreland County.
