General Notes: Husband - David P. Tritt
He attended the schools of the home district and finished his course by a two years' attendance (1853-55) at Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg. He was then appointed general agent for the Cumberland Valley Fire Insurance Company, which position he held for four years. In 1858 he located on a farm which he acquired, a fine farm of 120 acres as a homestead, besides owning other property elsewhere.
He was a life-long Democrat, and in his early years was quite active in public affairs, but later prefered to lead a private life. He and his wife were members of the Dickinson Presbyterian Church, of which he was a ruling elder for over fifteen years.
