General Notes: Husband - William Piper De Armit

---

He was reared in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, and educated in the schools of that borough. When thirteen years old he entered the counting-room of the Blair Iron and Coal company, where he remained three years. He served the Pennsylvania railroad three years as assistant agent at Cresson, and for three years had charge of the "over-charge" department of the Union line in Pittsburgh. For more than seventeen years he was associated with the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal company, beginning as bookkeeper, was thirteen years treasurer, and in 1887 became president. He was also a member of the Sterling Steel company (limited), and had stock in other institutions.

In 1869 he removed to Pittsburgh which was thereafter his home. He was with the Union Line (Pennsylvania Railroad Company) for three years and then began his long connection of twenty-nine years with the New York and Cleveland Gas Coal Company, of Pittsburgh.
His political preference was Republican, and he belonged to the Duquesne and Country clubs of Pittsburgh, the Oakmont Country Club of Allegheny, the Pennsylvania Society of New York and the Sons of the American Revolution, Pittsburgh Chapter.
