General Notes: Husband - Charles R. Galbrath


He received his education in the public schools of Franklin, Pennsylvania, and Edinboro Normal School at Edinboro. After leaving school, he engaged in mercantile business until the Harrison administration, when he was appointed to the office of deputy internal collector for the counties of Butler, Armstrong, Clarion, Forest and Venango, and served in this capacity until the close of the Harrison administration. He then entered the insurance business as general agent for the Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, in connection with local general insurance. Mr. Galbrath continued as agent for twenty-nine years. Meantime, however, he found time for other interests, many of which had to do with the public welfare. A Republican in political affiliation, Mr. Galbrath took a prominent part in local party councils and served as Congressional delegate and State committeeman. For a number of years he was school director in the Franklin district. He was one of the members of the board of trustees for the State Hospital at Warren, Pennsylvania, and served as such at present under appointment of the fourth governor, having held the post under Governors Tenner, Brumbaugh, Sproul, and Pinchot. He was also a trustee of the Franklin Cemetery Company. In the first Baptist Church he served as deacon, and was trustee and librarian. Fraternally, Mr. Galbrath was both a charter and life-member of Lodge No. 110, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Franklin, Pennsylvania.
