General Notes: Husband - Thomas M. Getgen

---

He was educated in Mifflinburg, Pennsylvania, attending the public schools and the academy, and was a remarkably fine penman. On leaving school he learned the coach-maker's trade, which he followed until he went into mercantile business with his father. He was also interested in the Live Stock Insurance Company of Union county, of which he was secretary. He belonged to a number of fraternal societies, and was secretary of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows for ten years, and of the Knights of the Golden Eagle for eight years. He was a prominent member of the Reformed Church, and was secretary of the Sunday-school for over ten years, and for some years he held the same office in the Union County Sunday School Association. Politically he was a Democrat, and while taking an interest in all local movements he was especially active in educational matters, serving for more than a decade as secretary of the Mifflinburg board of council, and as town clerk for said borough.
