General Notes: Husband - William Wible Jamison
At the age of twenty, after completing his studies at the local schools, he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and thus began his business career. His first position was on an engineering corps, of which Samuel Rea, later president of the immense Pennsylvania system of railroads, was chief. After several years spent in this service, he went to Greensburg and was employed as an engineer by several of the large coal companies in that part of the state. For ten years he continued to follow the profession of mine engineering and then was associated in the formation of The Jamison Coal and Coke Company, of which his father was the head. He continued this association for many years and always held some official capacity in connection with its work. His interests, however, extend beyond the limits of the single company and he was interested in a large number of other enterprises.
In politics he was a Republican, but though recognized as an influential factor in the activities of his party, consistently avoided all public office, preferring to exert his influence in the capacity of private citizen.
He and his wife were members of the Second Reformed Church of Greensburg. His three sons were all associated with The Jamison Coal and Coke Company.
A native of Greensburg, he made that city his home thereafter. It was there that he attended the local public schools, where he obtained an excellent general education.
