General Notes: Husband - Rev. William Joseph Engle

---

Until the age of eleven years he attended the public schools at Bunkerhill, Pennsylvania, walking three miles to school every day, and then became a pupil in the Green Garden schools, from which he was graduated. He then took a preparatory course at the New Sheffield Academy, going from there to Geneva College. In the meantime he had taught several terms in the public schools and one year in the New Sheffield Academy. After three years spent in study at the Allegheny United Presbyterian Seminary, he was assigned to a pastorate at Scroggsfield, Ohio, where he remained for a period of six years. The next three years he was the pastor of the United Presbyterian Church in Toronto, Ohio, and while there his health became impaired to such an extent that he was obliged to leave the ministry for a time at least. He accordingly came to Green Garden, Pennsylvania, March 16, 1910, and purchased a farm of eighty-six acres, planted this with peach trees, with which industry he was subsequently identified, and eventually had two thousand peach trees in fine bearing condition. During the second year of his residence at Green Garden, he became the supply preacher at Service.
While a student at college, Mr. Engle was president of his class for three years; was the captain of the football team in his senior year; in his sophomore year was the athletic editor of the college paper, the literary editor in his junior year, and editor in chief during his senior year. He was an active member of the literary society of the college, being elected president of it during his senior year. He was the second honor man of his class, 1898, doing the work of four years in the course of three.
