General Notes: Husband - Hon. Adam Martin Wyant

---

After finishing in the public school course, he taught one year prior to entering Reid Institute, Reidsburg, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, where he spent a year, and in the spring of 1889 entered the Western Pennsylvania Classical and Scientific Institute at Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1890. The three succeeding years he was at Bucknell University, but relinquished his work there to finish his course in the University of Chicago. He taught at the Mt. Pleasant Institute where he had previously been a student, during 1894-95, and was graduated at the University of Chicago, 1895, with the degree of A. B. While in the academy and college he won distinction throughout the country in the athletic field. He maintained a high rank in scholarship, taking the college entrance prize of $300, as well as the prize in oratory at Mount Pleasant. In 1896 he was elected principal of the public schools of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and after serving two months as principal, a superintendency was created, and he was elected for two terms of three years each.
Having decided to follow the legal profession, he registered as a law student with Hon. Willis D. Patton of Kittanning, and J. M. Hunter of Pittsburgh, and during vacations prepared for admission to the bar. He was admitted to the Allegheny County Bar on December 21, 1901, and to the Westmoreland County Bar on May 5, 1902, and immediately took up his practice at Greensburg. He was admitted to the practice of law in the Appellate courts of Pennsylvania and also the United States Federal courts. In March, 1911, he formed a partnership with Hon. Edward E. Robbins, which continued until the death of Senator Robbins on January 25, 1919, and then formed a partnership with Paul J. Abraham, January 2, 1921, of which firm he was the senior member.
Shortly after his admission to the bar he began the manufacture of coke and the mining of coal, and became extensively engaged in the business, acting as secretary and treasurer for the several companies with which he was connected. He also had a large interest in several banking institutions in his county and served as a director in the Safe Deposit and Trust Company, of Greensburg.
In 1920 he was a candidate for Congress in the Twenty-second District of Pennsylvania and was elected by the largest majority ever given a Republican for Congress from that district. In 1922 he received the nomination without opposition.
