General Notes: Husband - Ulysses A. Van Dyke

---

He received his education in the public schools of his native region and at Duff's Business College, Pittsburgh. After completing his studies in the latter institution he secured a position in the coal office of W. H. Brown's Sons, of Pittsburgh, and remained there for some six years. In the year 1895, however, he gave up this position and returned to Greensburg, where he founded a business merchandising wall paper, paints, oils, glass, etc. From the outset, he enjoyed a marked success. The business was conducted up to 1915 under the firm name of Van Dyke Brothers, at which time Mr. Van Dyke became sole owner.
Mr. Van Dyke was always keenly interested in politics, particularly in the application of political issues to local affairs. He was a staunch member of the Republican party, and while he was not actively associated with the party's organization in Greensburg, he was nevertheless a factor in the situation there. He was also a member of the Ancient and Illustrious Order Knights of Malta, of Ivy Commandery, No. 358. Mr. Van Dyke was the first past commander of this body.
He and his family were members of the First Lutheran Church of Greensburg and he sang in the choir for some years there.
