General Notes: Husband - William S. Head
He was born on the farm in Maryland. When thirteen years of age he came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, as a member of his father's family. He attended the country schools in his youth, and on the death of his father began clerking in a store kept by William Anderson, in the then thriving turnpike village of Youngstown. After a few years he formed a partnership with Mr. Anderson, and still later engaged in the mercantile business alone in the same town. In 1852, when the Pennsylvania Railroad was completed as far west as Pittsburgh, the turnpike business was practically abandoned and drawn to the new line of transportation. Mr. Head removed at once to the newly established station of Latrobe, and erected the first house in that now populous town. He also erected warehouses, and was soon extensively engaged in the mercantile business, and continued in it, more or less, for the greater part of his life. In 1873, in company with his brother Joseph, he opened a private bank in Latrobe, and upon the death of his brother in 1875, John B. Head, his son, became his partner in the bank, under the firm name of W. S. Head and Son. In 1888 the bank was chartered as the First National Bank of Latrobe. Mr. Head was made president of the new organization, which position he filled until his death.
He was a Democrat in politics and a Roman Catholic in religion.
