General Notes: Husband - James Sharp Wilson


He obtained a good preparatory education in the public schools and Sewickley Academy, also was a teacher in the public schools at the age of fifteen years. He later entered Geneva College, from whence he was graduated, A.B., class of 1885. He then began the study of law, entering the office of Hon. Henry Hice, of Beaver, as a student, teaching at the same time in the academy at Harmony, Pennsylvania, and two terms in the night schools of New Brighton. He completed his studies, passed the required examinations, and, on June 4, 1888, was admitted to the Beaver County bar. The same year he began practice in Beaver, was in due time admitted to all state and federal courts of the district, attaining and holding a high position at the bar. In 1895 he was the nominee of the Republican party for president-judge of Beaver County, and was elected the following November, taking his seat the following January and serving a ten years' term, ending in 1906. He declined re-election and returned to the practice of his profession in Beaver. The judge was always interested in political affairs although he was never a candidate for political preferment, his term as judge of the thirty-sixth judicial district being accepted for purely professional reasons. In 1906 he assisted in the reorganization of The Fort McIntosh National Bank, and in that year was chosen its president. In addition to his private practice he is general counsel for the court and director of the Chester Cement Company of Walton, and had other business interests of importance. His alma mater, Geneva College, of Beaver Falls, conferred upon him the degree of A.M. In religious faith he was a Presbyterian. He was a prominent member of the Masonic order, belonging to lodge, chapter and commandery, also holding the thirty-second degree, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite. [GPHWP, 116]
