General Notes: Husband - William G. Douthett
He was born on the old family homestead in Forward township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the district school. At the age of sixteen years he took charge of his father's farm, and conducted it until January, 1891, when he removed to Butler, and engaged in the livery business. He carried on the livery down to August 1, 1892, when he sold out. In March, 1893, he formed a partnership with Hart W. F. Graham, under the firm name of Douthett & Graham, and established the clothing and gent's furnishing store on the corner of Main and Cunningham streets, which became one of the leading establishments of the kind in Butler. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church, was a Sabbath school teacher for many years, and became the assistant superintendent of the Sabbath school of the Butler congregation. Politically, he was a stanch Republican.
He was educated in the public schools of Forward Township, his education being greatly crippled and shortened by the serious sickness of his father, and at the age of sixteen he was compelled to quit school work to take charge of his father's large farm, which he successfully managed for a period of seven years, until the date of his marriage. In 1886 he bought his father's farm, consisting of 200 acres, managed and farmed it on a large scale until January, 1891, when he and his family moved to Butler.
He served as president of the Butler Board of Trade for two terms, and through his efforts induced many of the first factories to locate in Butler. He was interested in the oil producing business in Butler County; was a director of the Butler County Mutual Fire Insurance Company; director of the Community Savings and Loan Company, of which he was one of the organizers; vice president and director of the Guaranty Trust Company, and was a member of the Merchants' Association and the Sterling Club.
