General Notes: Husband - Davis Ellsworth Gamble


He was quite small when his father moved to North Strabane Township in Washington County, Pennsylvania, and he grew to manhood on the farm. He attended the district schools and helped in the farming and later came into possession of 132 acres of the homestead. He continued to cultivate this land for a few years and then rented it out and came to Monongahela City in 1895. Subsequently he sold his farm to M. Wilson, of Canonsburg. Mr. Gamble carried on a feed and implement business alone for three years and then admitted Joseph Lytle to partnership, three years later buying the latter's interest, and continued the business at No. 309 West Fourth street thereafter. In 1906 he built a large elevator on the corner of Seventh and Railroad streets. In addition to his grain, feed and implement business, Mr. Gamble was a director of the First National Bank of Monongahela City.
He and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church. In politics he was a Republican and he served in the Select Council. Fraternally he was a member of Washington Lodge No. 164, A. F. & A. M., and of Monongahela Lodge No. 455, B. P. O. E.
