General Notes: Husband - Archibald H. McElrath

---

He attended the common schools, Mercer Union School, Beaver Academy and Alleghany College, at Meadville, Penn. After teaching a number of terms, including two years in the Freeland Seminary, Montgomery County, Penn., and one year as principal of the public schools at Washington, N. J., he, in 1870, began reading law, and was admitted to the Mercer County bar in 1873, and practiced, except when employed as clerk in public offices, until elected prothonotary of Mercer County, which position he filled with credit. He was deputy under Sheriff McClure, and clerk in the prothonotary office from 1879 to 1882. He enlisted in the Fifty-fifth Pennsylvania Volunteer Militia, and served until the regiment was mustered out. He was a Republican, and he and his wife were members of the First Presbyterian Church of Mercer. [HMC 1888, 682]
