General Notes: Husband - George Wallace Delamater


After a preliminary course of studies he matriculated as a student of Allegheny College, and graduated from that institution in June, 1869, soon after which he entered upon a course of studies in the Law Department of Harvard College and under Hon. H. L. Richmond & Son, which he completed and was admitted to the bar of Crawford County February 1, 1875. His liberal education, practical knowledge of business affairs, and extensive acquaintance supplementing his legal studies, qualified him for an active and useful career, either in the practice of law or as a banker. In 1877 he was elected Mayor of the city of Meadville, and discharged the duties of the office during his term with credit. In 1878 he was chosen Senatorial delegate to the Republican State Convention at Harrisburg, and subsequently in the same year was made Chairman of the Republican County Committee, in which position he conducted an efficient and successful campaign. In 1880 he was chosen Presidential Elector for Pennsylvania, and cast his vote for J. A. Garfield. [HCC 1885, 727]
