General Notes: Husband - William Penn Baum
He was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and came to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, when he was but twelve years of age. He came with a friend of his father, Charles Volz, who was one of the influential men of those early times in Pittsburgh. He remained with Mr. Volz for a number of years, attending night schools and working days in Mr. Volz's office. Later he was engaged in the manufacturing business on Wood street. After this business experience he went into the toy business on what became known as Sixth street, where he was at the time of his death. He was a director in the Merchants' and Manufacturers' National Bank from its organization until his death.
He was an ardent Abolitionist and was among the active factors in the Republican party upon its formation, with which he ever afterwards voted. In his religious faith he was an Episcopalian, and was one of the founders of the East End Calvary church, in which he served as a vestryman.
