General Notes: Husband - James Albert Chadwick


He acquired his literary education in the public schools of Franklin, PA, completing the high school course. Subsequently he became a drug clerk and took up the study of pharmacy, and in 1905 passed the examination of the State Board of Pharmacists. After receiving his license he was engaged for a time with the Franklin Drug & Chemical Company, and with William C. Mackey and G. H. Curtis, but the profession did not suit him and he gave it up in 1907. The same year he entered the insurance business. In 1912 he became interested with A. J. Sibley, with whom he was associated under the firm name of Chadwick & Sibley, having offices in the Lamberton Na­tional Bank building. They were agents for a number of the old-line companies, and did a profitable business, enlarging their circle of patrons yearly. On April 1, 1918, they sold their insurance agency to Henry W. Smith.
In the fall of 1915 Mr. Chadwick was honored with election to the office of city treasurer of Franklin, taking office in January 1916, and filling the position for two years. His fitness for public responsibilities must be obvious, for in January, 1918, he was elected clerk to the county commissioners, to succeed the late E. K. Smiley, who had held that office for twenty-five years. Mr. Chadwick has also served as treasurer of the local lodge of B. P. O. Elks. Few men in this region are wider known socially. He is a past master of Myrtle Lodge, No. 316, F. & A. M., of Franklin; past high priest of Venango Chapter, No. 211, R. A. M.; past thrice illustrious master of Keystone Council, No. 42, R. & S. M.; past commander of Franklin Commandery, No. 44, K. T.; a member of Venango Lodge of Perfection, at Oil City, Pa.; of Pittsburgh Consistory, thirty-second degree; and Zem Zem Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Erie. He is acting as district deputy grand master of the council in his district, the Third. Mr. Chad­wick is a member of the Washington Club. For a number of years he was a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard and first sergeant of the hospital corps of the 16th Regi­ment. [CAB, 848]
