General Notes: Husband - William D. Reamer

---

He was a fine sketch artist and a law student with Atchinson & Peoples.

He acquired his education in the public schools and later at Westerville, Ohio, Otterhein University, from which he graduated in 1882. Thus equipped with a good education, he turned his attention to a profession. Lithography appealed strongly to him, and in 1882 and 1883 he spent many months perfecting himself in this art. During the latter part of 1883 and in 1884 he devoted his time to wood engraving. These few years of activity netted him a substantial sum which enabled him to take up the study of law, a profession which had also interested him. Entering the offices of Atkinson & Peoples, he pursued his studies under the tutelage of this well-known firm for a number of years. At the death of his father, in 1890, he was appointed by Judge Doty to fill the vacancy thus made in the office of director of the poor. The following year he was elected to this office for a three-year term. His friends suggested that he accept the nomination in 1894 for county commissioner. His election to the office was highly gratifying on account of the heavy number of votes given him, and at each election after that time, except 1903 and 1909, he received the office in the same complimentary manner. He gave over twenty years of faithful service to his community in that one capacity. In 1904 he was clerk in the office of the registrar of wills. He was a charter member of Jeannette Chapter, No. 486, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and was also a member of the United Brethren church.
