General Notes: Husband - Cyrus C. Brant

---

He received his early education in the public schools of the township, and this was supplemented by a course at the academy of Ligonier and Mt. Union College, at Alliance, Ohio. He chose teaching for a profession and began his work as an instructor at Four Mile Run school when but fifteen years old. He taught continuously in Westmoreland County after that first school excepting the time spent in college and one year as bookkeeper for the Pittsburg and Ligonier Realty Company. He kept well informed on all matters pertaining to his calling, and while devoting his best interests to the work of instruction was still a student, and was well versed in literature and topics of general interest. He was a Republican, and held a commission as notary public.
