General Notes: Husband - Charles Edward Schimmelfeng


He spent his childhood and early youth in Elk County, Pennsylvania, his education being received in the public schools there, supplemented by a course at the Normal School at Lock Haven, and a business college course at the same place. At the age of twenty years, his education being then completed, he began his career in business life by becoming his father's assistant in the lumber business, having charge of the work in the woods and the oversight of the logs and bark there. He was also engaged about the mills in a different capacity. He continued in association with his father in the lumber business for about six years, and in 1892 came to Warren, where he engaged in producing oil, a business which he followed for about seven years. He was also interested in horses and had extensive dealings in that line. Mr. Schimmelfeng was later engaged in the advertising business and had his sign boards distributed throughout the western portions of Pennsylvania and New York.
He was a member of a number of fraternal organizations, belonging to the Knights Templar of Ridgway, and having been made a Mason in Elk Lodge, No. 379, Free and Accepted Masons, at Ridgway.
