General Notes: Husband - John Henry Negley
He received his preparatory education in the public schools and at Butler Academy, and in 1841 matriculated at Washington College, Washington, Pennsylvania. He then studied law under the preceptorship of John Bredin, and was admitted to the bar in 1845. He was appointed district attorney in 1848 and 1849, and was elected to this office in 1850, being the first man elected to it in Butler County. He was active in local political affairs. In 1855 he and Joseph P. Patterson bought the Democrat Herald, and in the autumn of that year they commenced to publish the paper. In 1858 he sold it and started the American Citizen, afterward called the Butler Citizen. He stumped the county for Lincoln in 1860, and in 1861 was in the enrollment office. He enlisted in Company G, Fourteenth Pennsylvania Militia, and served a short term. He was a member of the state legislature, 1863-64-65. In 1888 he sold his newspaper to his son, William Clark Negley, and retired to private life.
