General Notes: Husband - Simon Truby


He read law with James Douglas. While thus engaged he was elected prothon­otary of Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, serving for two successive terms. At the expiration of his second term he engaged in the oil business with Robert L. Brown and others at Parker's Landing, Armstrong County, and this con­tinued to be his principal interest to the end of his days. These men were pioneers in the oil business at that point and were very suc­cessful. At the time of his death, he was living at the old homestead in Kittanning. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, of which he was senior warden for a number of years prior to his death. Fraternally he was a Ma­son from early manhood.
