General Notes: Husband - Roswell G. Yingling


He was a founder and professor in the Clarion State Normal School, a graduate of Lebanon, Ohio. Later a pros­perous brick and coal dealer in Pittsburgh, PA.

After securing all that was to be had in the public school he attended West Freedom Acad­emy and prepared for the profession of teacher. Teaching in the public schools in Clarion and McKean counties was but a stepping stone to higher education. He attended State Normal at Edinboro, Pennsylvania, then after further teaching attended the National University at Lebanon, Ohio. Graduating from that insti­tution, he entered on a career in Clarion, Penn­sylvania, first in the public school, then in Carrier Seminary (a private normal school in Clarion, a Methodist concern), taught there two summers, then this school was purchased by stockholders and became a State Normal School. Much of the success and completion of this transaction was due to the indefatigable vim and progressive measures of Mr. Ying­ling. He was a stockholder, manager and teacher in the school for nearly twenty years, and to him must be given much credit for its success. From the beginning (1886) for over twenty-five years he was a trustee of the school.
