General Notes: Husband - W. K. Galbraith

---

He was born in Cross Creek village, Pennsylvania, and when ten years of age came with his parents to Burgettstown. He entered the high school, and graduated with the class of '78. After leaving school he assisted his father in the duties of the recorder's office, and when the term was ended worked one year for the new recorder. He then conducted a tobacco store in Canonsburg for eight years; then entered the office of the Central Grain Elevator Company, of Pittsburgh, remaining in their employ until his appointment, in 1890, as postmaster of Canonsburg. In politics he was a faithful adherent of the Republican party, and in religion a member and liberal supporter of the U. P. Church at Canons­burg.

He was reared at Cross Creek and Bur­gettstown, Pennsylvania, his parents removing to the latter place when he was ten years old. He attended the graded schools and was graduated from the high school with the class of 1878, and then entered the recorder's office, his father being recorder of Washington County at that time.
After the expiration of his father's term he continued in the office as clerk for a year and then located at Canonsburg. There he conducted a tobacco store for eight years, after which he was in the employ of the Central Grain Elevator Company of Pittsburg until 1890. In that year he was first appointed postmaster at Canons­burg and later was made assistant county treasurer, in which office he served two terms. After retiring from the treasurer's office he was again appointed postmaster and was so serving when his death occurred. He was an honest and capable official and he was respected by his fellow citizens and esteemed by his friends.
He was succeeded as post­master by his oldest son, James Lloyd, who was appointed postmaster Octo­ber 29, 1906.
The late W. K. Galbraith was a member and liberal supporter of the United Presbyterian Church, to which his family also belong. He was a Republican. The family home was at No. 115 East College street, Canonsburg.
