General Notes: Husband - Hon. Cyrus Gordon
He studied law in Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, was admitted to practice, and then moved to Clearfield, where he enjoyed a large practice, and about 1896 was elected President Judge of that District, although the political party to which he was an adherent was largely in the minority.
He was born at the old family home in Centre County, Pennsylvania, and as his parents appreciated the value of a good education he was given excellent advantages, of which he made good use, graduating from Pennsylvania State College in 1866. He then attended the law department of Michigan University, completing the course in 1869. In the following year he located in Clearfield, where he engaged in his profession. In 1893 he was elected, on the Republican ticket, to the office of president-judge of Clearfield County. He was especially interested in educational advancement, and became a trustee of his Alma Mater, Pennsylvania State College, where so many sons and daughters of the Commonwealth prepared for their life's work. He was a leading member of the Presbyterian Church, and he and his wife were prominent in the social life of the locality.
