General Notes: Husband - Joseph J. Johnston

---

He was educated in the public schools at the Sewickley academy, after which he was an assistant teacher in that academy and taught nine years in the schools of his native county. Having quit teaching, he was engaged for two years in the oil business in Venango County, and then began reading law with E. J. Keenan. He was admitted to the bar, and began practicing his profession. Although an earnest, faithful and able democrat he never aspired to political office but took a great interest in the public schools, and was a member of the board beginning in 1869. He was a member of Philanthropy Lodge, No. 225, A. Y. M., a Royal Arch Mason, a Knight Templar, and took the Mystic Shrine, one of the highest degrees of Masonry.
