General Notes: Husband - Mathias Earl Saxman

---

He was educated in the local public schools, and after leaving the high school, took a course in the Kiskiminetas Academy at Saltsburg, Pennsylvania. After completing his studies at the latter institution, he became associated with the coal and coke industries in which his father was interested. He began to work in a humble position, but was rapidly advanced to places of greater importance and responsibility. In the year 1900 he was appointed superintendent of the Saxman Superior Mines, and four years later became manager of the Saxman Supply Company. Both of these positions he continued to hold until the year 1915 and then retired from them. He was a large stockholder in the extensive concerns which were controlled by the Saxman family. He was also largely interested in the Latrobe Trust Company.
He was a staunch Republican in politics, and although he never sought office of any kind, was regarded as something of a power in the political situation in the locality. He was a Presbyterian in his religious belief, and he and his family attended the church of that denomination at Latrobe. He was a member of the Latrobe Club and the Pittsburgh Athletic Club, and was a devotee of all outdoor sports, especially of hunting, fishing and motoring. He was for a time a well-known football player in the district.
