General Notes: Husband - Samuel P. Gilbert

---

He was educated in the public schools of Sharon, Pennsylvania, where he completed the high school course, and at Dickinson College, from which he withdrew to enlist April, 1917, in the United States Army for World War service. As a private in the 28th Division, he was sta­tioned at Camp Hancock for training and subsequently went to France with the American Expeditionary Forces, participating in the major engagements of the American armies at Chateau Thierry and in the Meuse Argonne, where he was wounded in action. Hospitalized until after the Armistice, he received his honorable discharge from the service following his return to America and began his career in civil life. His first position was with the Sharon Pressed Steel Company, for whom he acted as assistant sales manager. He was subsequently purchasing agent for five years for the Sharon plant of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company and continued this connection until 1928, resigning to be­come treasurer of the Flather Manufacturing Company, Nashua, New Hampshire, until 1934. He then joined his brother, John F. Gilbert, as a partner in the Gilbert Insurance Agency. This agency traces its origins to the year 1854, when the business was established by the Mattiox brothers in Sharon. It was continued by them until 1875, was then purchased by Thomas Beil, who operated it until 1912, and after him by Ed Buchholz, who was alone until 1927, when he took John F. Gilbert into partnership. Upon the death of Mr. Buchholz in 1934, Samuel P. Gilbert joined his brother in the ownership and manage­ment of Sharon's oldest insurance agency, which they then operated as a partnership under their own name.
Mr. Gilbert was not only prominent as an insurance man but also served as director of appraisals and real estate for the First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Sharon. He was a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Insurance Agencies, the Protected Home Circle Club, an affiliate of the order in which his father was long a leader; the Sharon Country Club, the Youngstown Club, and the Free and Accepted Masons, in which he was affili­ated with the Blue Lodge, the higher Scottish Rite bodies, including New Castle Consistory, and Zem Zem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at Erie. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church at Sharon.
