General Notes: Husband - Philip Kuhns Shaner


He received his early school training in Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, graduating from the high schools in 1894, and later matriculating at Washington and Jefferson. Here he vigorously pursued his studies for three years, at that time deciding on fitting himself for the practice of the law, and in 1897 entered the office of C. C. Crowell as his preceptor, and was admitted to practice in 1899. His practice was of a general character, but he perhaps was most widely known as a criminal lawyer, and his successes did not gone unnoticed throughout western Pennsylvania. In 1912 he was selected as attorney for the county controller. He was also retained as counsel for the Westmoreland National Banking House. In political creed he was a Republican, though his professional obligations and allegiance took precedence. Fraternally he was connected with, and prominent in, the social club life of Greensburg and elsewhere, holding membership in the Union and Americus clubs of Pittsburgh, and in various social organizations of his home city.
