General Notes: Husband - Henry George Gethin
He spent the years of his childhood in his native place. It was there also that he partly gained his education, but while still young left that place and went to Lorain, Ohio. This was due to the great loss incurred by his family at the time of the Johnstown flood, which destroyed much of their property, and caused them to seek their fortune elsewhere. He continued at school in Lorain, Ohio, and took one year at the high school there. Immediately after leaving this institution he learned the pattern-making trade and has followed same up to the present time. He left Lorain, Ohio, and returned to Pennsylvania at the age of nineteen years and at once located at Trafford, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he resided thereafter. He secured a position almost immediately with the Westinghouse Company, and became one of their foremen.
He was a Progressive in politics and was affiliated with a number of fraternal and other organizations at Trafford. He was an active member of the local lodges of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Junior Order of American Mechanics and held the post of financial secretary in the latter body. He was also clerk of the Modern Woodmen of America.
He studied for three years at Wilmerding, taking a course in higher mathematics with a view to preparing himself for entering the Carnegie Institute of Technology at Pittsburgh. He was obliged to temporarily abandon this work on account of failing health, but intended to resume his studies in the autumn of 1918.
