General Notes: Husband - Henry S. Overholt


He possessed many of the characteristics of his father. He was considered one of the best business men in Western Pennsylvania. A marked peculiarity of this gentleman was his reticence as to his own affairs, and which he preserved in such manner that those who were curious and inquisitive, and deemed that they had some light at the beginning of impertinent investigations, were sure to find in the end that they knew nothing. Socially he was not garrulous, and though quiet was very popular, and much beloved by all who knew him. His life was eminently moral from boyhood to the day of his death.
