General Notes: Husband - Joseph C. Head
He was educated in the parochial schools, and was graduated from Saint Vincent's College in the class of 1878. When his brother, Judge Head, began to read law, he took the position of cashier in his father's bank, though he had not reached his majority by several years. This position he held until 1888, when the banking house of W. S. Head & Son and the Citizens' Banking Company consolidated, forming the First National Bank of Latrobe, of which institution he was elected cashier. He eventually became the chief manager of the institution. He also branched out into other business projects, some of which far overshadowed his banking business. The Latrobe Steel Company, one of the largest manufacturers of steel in the United States at the time, was induced to locate in Latrobe largely through his influence, and he was one of its chief stockholders. He was also president of the Fort Ligonier Coal Company, vice-president of the Peters Paper Company, president of the Latrobe Electric Light Company, and was secretary and treasurer of the Latrobe Street Railway Company until it transferred its interests to another corporation. He was a director in the Latrobe Brick Company, and was president of the Combination Bridge Company of Sioux City, Iowa. But perhaps the project which reflects most credit upon his ability as a financier, was the Latrobe Trust Company. It was chartered on February 9th, 1903, and was opened for business April 2nd, 1906. By his efforts it was organized, and he became its president.
In politics Mr. Head was a Democrat, and was councilman and city
treasurer of Latrobe. Socially he was a member of the Latrobe Club, the Monongahela Club, and the Oakmont Country Club of Pittsburgh, and the Hermitage Golf Club of Ligonier. He and his family were Roman Catholics.
