General Notes: Husband - Edward Mathew Geibel

---

After passing through the district schools of Summit Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, he worked on his father's farm for a time. As a young man, he worked in East Butler for a time as a shipping clerk for the Valvoline Oil Company. And then, selecting the undertaking business for his career, Mr. Geibel associated himself with Butler's leading mortician, Steven F. Brady. In 1917, when the United States entered the first World War, Mr. Geibel enlisted in the Army Engineer Corps but was prevented from reaching France by being transferred to the Medical Corps and being stationed in the United States for service in connection with the influenza epidemic. When the war ended, and he was discharged, Mr. Geibel returned to Butler and, in 1919, renewed his association with Steven F. Brady for about a year. Then Mr. Geibel transferred his residence to St. Marys where he purchased an undertaking business of his own and operated it for five years. Finally, Mr. Geibel returned to Butler, in 1926, established himself as an independent undertaker. A member of the Democratic party, and a communicant of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Mr. Geibel is very much interested in church work and belonged to the Holy Name Society. Interested in the education of youth, he was also active in Boy Scout work, being chairman of Troop No. 11 of St. Paul's Church. He was also a member of the Butler organizations of the Knights of Columbus and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, as well as belonging to the Butler Game Preserve, a hunting club. To maintain his professional position, Mr. Geibel was a member of the Butler County Funeral Directors' Association, the Western Pennsylvania Funeral Directors' Association, the Pennsylvania Funeral Directors' Association and the National Funeral Directors' Association.
