General Notes: Husband - William James Orr

When he was thirteen years of age he left school, obtaining, when his family moved to Beaver Falls, a position with J. D. Strock, a grocer, later becoming the junior member of the firm of William Orr & Son, his father being the head of this firm. In 1895 he left this business and for three years was employed as salesman by McHattie Brothers, wholesale fruit and produce dealers, of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, later being promoted to the position of manager of the plant.
In fraternal and religious circles he was prominent, being, with his wife, a member of St. Mary's Episcopal Church, and for twelve years or more he was vestryman of this organization, and the same length of time head of the Sunday school as superintendent, to the duties of which he gave the best of his time and attention. He was a Republican in politics, and was a Mason, being a member of Beaver Valley Lodge, No. 478; Harmony Chapter, No. 206, Royal Arch Masons; Beaver Valley Commandery, No. 84, Knights Templar. He was also associated with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Royal Arcanum.
