General Notes: Husband - Guy Thorne

---

He attended grammar and high schools in Greenville, Pennsylvania, studied at Thiel College there, and received his degree of Bachelor of Laws at Dickinson Law School, in Carlisle, in 1902. Admitted to the Pennsylvania bar in 1901, he established his practice in 1902, and in the early years of his professional work he took many crim­inal cases and tended to specialize in that branch of law. Later he became active in commercial and banking law. He was associated in a legal capacity with the Greenville National Bank, and was also counsel to the Pennsylvania Power Company. Mr. Thorne was especially proud, and justifiably so, of his distinction of being admitted to the bar a full year before he finished his law course.
A Democrat in politics, he was active for years in Greenville affairs. From 1914 to 1918 he was burgess of Greenville, and he served also as Mercer County solicitor and as a member of the staff of the department of banking, functioning under the office of the Attorney-General. He held that state position for four years under Governor Earle. He rendered further public service of a different character in 1918, when he entered the United States Army and was sent to the Officers' School at Camp Josephine, Jacksonville, Florida. The Armistice was signed, however, before he experienced active wartime duty.
Along with his other activities, he was a mem­ber of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Ameri­can Bar Association and a past president of the Mercer County Bar Association. He was also active in the Green­ville Kiwanis Club, of which he was a past president, and the Greenville Country Club. He was a member of the Sons of the Revolution, the Protected Home Circle and the Free and Accepted Masons. In the Masonic Order he held the thirty-second degree of Ancient Accepted Scot­tish Rite and was a member of all bodies of both York and Scottish Rite branches of Masonry. He was affiliated with the Knights Templar Commandery. He attended St. Clement's Protestant Episcopal Church, and his wife was a member of St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church.
