Children

General Notes: Husband - George H. Adams


He received his education at the public schools of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, at Elders Ridge Academy, where he prepared for college, and finally at Washington and Jefferson College. He did not graduate from the latter institution, however, as he was compelled to abandon his studies by his father's death, which threw great responsibilities upon his shoulders. He served as agent at Beatty Station until 1891, when he was transferred to Latrobe, to the post of agent at that point, one of the important traffic centers of western Pennsylvania.
He was a member of the Latrobe Club, and was particularly active in Free Masonry, being a member of the various local bodies connected with the Masonic order, including the Greensburg Commandery, Knights Templar, and the Syria Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, of Pittsburgh. He took his thirty-second degree in Masonry.
