General Notes: Husband - Daniel Ralph Woodward


He attended school until he was thirteen years of age, then began working in the saw mill, manufacturing lumber on Mix river, continuing six months. He then began working in the offices of the Du Bois Courier, continuing until 1897, when he became manager of the five and ten cent store of Kurtz & Steward in Clearfield. He remained with them ten years, until February 1, 1907, and at that date removed to Kane and established a similar store there in his own name. It proved a successful venture. He enlarged his field of activity, having five and ten cent stores in Ridgway, Bristol and Lock Haven, Pennsylvania; Burlington, New Jersey; Cambridge, Maryland, all of which proved successful. On September 1, 1912, he sold all of his five and ten cent stores and retired from active business.
He was a Republican in politics, and a member of the Clearfield Presbyterian Church. He stood high in the Masonic order, belonging to Clearfield Lodge, No. 314, Free and Accepted Masons; Kane Chapter, Royal Arch Masons; Bradford Council, Royal and Select Masters; Knapp Commandery, Knights Templar, of Ridgway, and Williamsport Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, in which he held the thirty-second degree.
