General Notes: Husband - Charles H. Troutman

---

He was educated in the public and high schools of his neighborhood, and graduated from Washington and Jefferson College with the class of 1909, with the degree of Bachelor of Science. His whole business career centered in the store of A. Troutman's Sons. He began there immediately after completing his schooling and became president and general manager. This store, established in 1864 by Adam Troutman, was thereafter in the hands of the Troutman family. The small village store grew and became one of the leading department stores between Pittsburgh and Buffalo. They handled a complete line of dry goods, notions, lady's and men's ready-to-wear clothing, and all the variety of a first class city department store. The carpet department was particularly notable for the excellence and artistry of its wares. In 1924 the firm expanded its floor space greatly by taking over the adjoining store of the Campbell Hardware Company. It had 50,000 square feet of space and employed ninety people.
A Republican in politics, Mr. Troutman was a member of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, to which he gave zealous service. During the World War, he gave in all eighteen months of his time to war work; first in the Young Men's Christian Association at Camp Dix, and later stationed at Camp Colt, Gettysburg, at United States Hospital No. 31 at Carlisle, Pennsylvania, where he had full charge.
