General Notes: Husband - Samuel Cannon Steele


He attended public school in Derry township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and went to the Greensburg Academy, acquiring an excellent education in the common branches. In 1898 he began to teach school, in which work he was engaged until 1904, in several townships in his native county. He then took the full course in bookkeeping and banking in the Iron City College, at Pittsburgh, and in December, 1904, entered his new field of work as cashier of the Madera (Pennsylvania) National Bank, with which institution he was connected in that capacity until the Homer City National Bank was established, in 1907, and he was elected cashier. In 1911 he was elected to the borough council, of which he became president. In politics he was a Republican.
