General Notes: Husband - John Ringgold Gloninger


He received his education at St. Mary's College, Baltimore, Maryland, and retained throughout his life much of the classical training of his early years. The early part of his career was spent in and near Baltimore. He was engaged in the glass business at New Castle, Pennsylvania, at one time. He had been thoroughly trained in mercantile houses at Baltimore and later was a prominent factor in the city of Pittsburgh, where he resided for forty-five years, the larger portion of his time being in active business operations. He was connected with the City Insurance Company, of which he was vice-president. His death occurred on the morning of November 1, 1887. He was struck by the day express train on the Pennsylvania railroad, near Bessemer station, shortly after ten o'clock, and killed instantly. It being All Saints' Day, he had left his home to attend early Mass at St. James' church, Wilkinsburg. The accident occurred on his way to Brushton, where he had a business errand.
