General Notes: Husband - William Myers Gormly, Jr.

---

He was educated in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, public schools and East Liberty Academy. For eight years following the completion of his studies he was variously employed, principally as a salesman. In 1911 he located in Jeannette and formed a partnership with Morrison O. Shuster. Mr. Shuster had been a traveling salesman in the employ of S. Ewart & Company, and when the two young men joined forces, both were practical salesmen and business men. They decided upon the wholesale grocery business, but their capital being small, the start was a very modest one. They prospered from the very beginning and within a year were located in a three-story building. In 1913 they incorporated as the Shuster Gormly Company, and greatly extended their lines. On May 1, 1916, the business had so increased that a larger capitalization was a necessity, and the capital stock of the company was increased from sixty-five thousand to three hundred thousand dollars.
He was a member of the Masonic order, belonging to Lodge, Chapter, Commandery and Shrine; was a member of the Junior Order of American Mechanics, and a Republican in politics.
