General Notes: Husband - Willison Kerr Vance

---

Beginning in 1876 Mr. Vance lived in Monongahela City, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared and attended school, graduating from the Monongahela High School in 1889, after which he taught school in Union Township. In 1893 he entered the department of law of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, from which he was graduated in 1895. He then returned to Pennsylvania, where he read law with the law firm of McIlvaine & Wurzell, at Pittsburgh, and was admitted to the Allegheny County bar in 1896, where he practiced until 1899, although he continued to make his residence in Monongahela City. In 1899 Mr. Vance was admitted to the Washington County bar and shortly afterward formed a partnership with Charles G. McIlvaine for the practice of law in Washington County. The firm of McIlvaine & Vance continued until 1903, when Carl E. Gibson became a member of it, and the firm name was changed to McIlvaine, Vance & Gibson.
