---

Greensburg, Westmoreland Co, PA - a banker

He was reared and educated at Altoona, Blair County, Pennsylvania, learned telegraphy, entered the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and served for two and one-half years as a telegraph operator in their offices from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg. In June, 1873, he engaged in banking and after that year was been principally employed in various positions, lastly as cashier, by the Greensburg Banking Company, whose place of business was at Greensburg.
He was a member of Greensburg Council, No. 44, Royal Arcanum, and Greensburg Council No. 82, Junior Order of United American Mechanics. He was prominent in the Masonic fraternity, being a member of Westmoreland Lodge, No. 519, a High Royal Arch Mason of Urania Chapter, No. 152, a Knight Templar of Kedron Commandery, No. 18, and has taken the Mystic Shrine degree of Freemasonry.
His business qualifications recommended him to the leading men of various successful enterprises, and he was treasurer of the Greensburg and Hempfield Electric Street Railway, Dunbar Dimension and Building Stone, Greensburg Coal, Alexandria Supply, Globe Sand and Stone and South Fork Supply Companies, and of the Westmoreland and the Home Building and Loan Associations. He was a director of the Hempfield Coal, Carbon Coal and Greensburg Electric Light Companies, and of the First National Bank of Greensburg, which was organized in 1881 and was one of the flourishing banks of that place. He was also secretary of the Corona Coal and Coke Company of Corona, Alabama.
He was cashier of one of the most substantial and best conducted banking houses in western Pennsylvania. This institution was organized as the Greensburg Banking Company by Col. George F. Huff and several other of the leading capitalists of Greensburg, who were prominently identified with the coal and railroad interests of the county. This bank was the depository of the Pennsylvania and Southwest Railroads, and its eastern correspondents were the National Bank of the Republic and Cassatt & Co., Philadelphia, and the American National Bank of New York City. It was one of the oldest banks in Greensburg, and its constantly increasing volume of business was rapidly transacted by W. A. Huff.
