General Notes: Husband - David Wilson Douds


He received a liberal education in the public schools of his home locality and the State Normal at Indiana, from which he was graduated in 1893.
Although but nineteen years old, Mr. Douds easily passed the exacting examinations and for the three succeeding years taught school, becoming not only an efficient instructor but a popular one as well. His ability received signal recognition by his appointment as principal of the summer normal at Shelocta, Armstrong township, and that at Cookport, in Green township. However, in 1897 he branched out and in conjunction with his uncle, Dr. Dennis Andrews, formed the general merchandise firm of D. W. Douds & Co., which continued in successful operation until the establishment of the First National Bank of Plumville, at which time Mr. Douds sold his interest to his brothers, J. W. and J. V., the name changing to J. W. Douds & Co.
Mr. Douds was one of the organizers of the borough of Plumville, and was one of the first members of its council, having been elected on the Republican ticket. Like his parents he was a member of the Methodist Church of Plumville, serving as a trustee, and having been Sunday school superintendent for the some years. The Odd Fellows hold his membership and he was a past grand of the local lodge, and belonged to the grand lodge of the state, as well as to the Rebekahs. For years he was a member of the teachers' institute.
The First National Bank of Plumville was organized in 1905 by D. W. Douds and associates. Mr. Douds was the cashier from the organization of the bank.
