General Notes: Husband - Hon. William B. Dunlap
His education was obtained at the common schools, and at Darlington and Beaver academies, and Jefferson College. He was intended for the bar, but being overtaken by ill health at the completion of his college course he was forced to abandon this purpose,\emdash it was then hoped temporarily. Later he was principal for two years of the Scott Street Public Schools of the city of Covington, Kentucky. Failing to attain restored health, he entered upon the more open, out-door life of the river, and was for a number of years engaged in the transportation business on the inland rivers.
In 1890, in a triangular fight, he was elected to represent Washington and Beaver counties, as a Democrat, in the Senate of Pennsylvania. After the expiration of his term in the Senate he was connected with the publication of the Daily Star and Semi-Weekly Star.
