General Notes: Husband - Prof. James A. Lostetter

---

He was brought up in Pulaski, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, whither his parents moved when he was in his first year. His preliminary education was secured in the district schools of Pulaski, and was continued until he was eighteen years of age, when he entered Grove City College, and graduated in 1887. Having taught school before attending college, he quite naturally followed that vocation after he left college halls, and was assistant principal at West Middlesex for three years, and then for a like period had full charge of the schools. In 1893, he relinquished his position to accept the position of superintendent of the schools of Mahoningtown, and thereafter conducted the borough schools until his death. He was a gentleman of deep learning, broad views and superior executive ability, and did much in raising the standard of the schools.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church. In his politics, he was independent, and voted for the men and principles that seemed him most deserving. Socially, he was a member Kedron Lodge, No. 389, F. & A. M. of West Middlesex, Pennsylvania.
