General Notes: Husband - Gilbert Leander Eberhart

His education was received at the Mercer Academy and Washington College, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He then engaged in civil engineering and teaching until the outbreak of the rebellion, when in April, 1861, he entered the army, and was later made Quartermaster of the 8th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, serving in 1862 on the staff of Gen. George G. Meade. After active service in the field, he received his discharge in May, 1864. In September he was appointed by Gen. Saxton, superintendent of education for the state of Georgia in connection with the Freedman's Bureau. He was admitted to the bar of Beaver county in 1870, and began the practice of law.
As a Republican he was an influential factor in local politics. He was superintendent of schools for Mercer County in the years 1856-57; member of the State House of representatives for 1877-78, and was twice elected mayor of New Brighton.
He was an Episcopalian in his religious belief, and a member of the church of that denomination in New Brighton.
