General Notes: Husband - Arthur Brandon Collner


He received his education in the public schools of Clarion County, PA, clerking at intervals in his father's store, and in the store of his uncle (H. Collner & Bro.), at St. Petersburg. In 1879, on his fa­ther's removal to Clarion to perform the duties of sheriff, he came with the family, and during their three-years' residence there attended the public schools of the borough. During his fa­ther's first term as prothonotary, from 1884 to 1887, young Collner attended the Clarion State Normal School, working during vacations, and mornings and evenings, in the office, and during his father's second administration he served as deputy; he held the same position through the six-years' administration of W. A. Sipler, the successor of William F. Collner. Such was the popularity of the deputy prothonotary that in 1896 he was nominated for that office and elected in November of that year by the largest vote ever given a candidate in the county.
