General Notes: Husband - William Dickey Gamble


His early education was obtained in the public schools of Jamestown, Pennsylvania. He was graduated from the Jamestown Seminary, founded by his paternal grandfather, and took his course in pedagogy at Westminster College, of which his maternal grandfather was one of the founders, and from which he was graduated in the class of 1896. His first position as a teacher was at Ingleside Academy, McDonald, Pennsylvania. He subsequently became an instructor at the Mission College, Norfolk, Virginia. Returning to Jamestown, he was appointed principal of the public schools of that borough. After a stay of some years in Jamestown, he was called to Sharon to become principal of the Sharon High School, and soon afterward was promoted to superintendent of the Sharon schools.
Professor Gamble was a member of the National Education Association and the Pennsylvania State Education Association. He was a member of the board of trustees of Westminster College, the Sharon Rotary Club, and the Protected Home Circle. He and his family were members of the United Presbyterian Church, Sharon, where they had their residence at No. 198, Cedar Avenue.
