General Notes: Husband - William Emerson Heathcote

---

He left school when eighteen years of age and began his business career as an accountant. Four years later he entered the employ of S. P. Morse & Company, whole-sale and retail dealers in dry goods in Omaha, Nebraska. After remaining four years with this firm, he went to Evanston, Wyoming, as an employee of A. C. Beckwith & Company. This firm was subsequently taken over by the Union Pacific Coal Company. For this cor-poration he served as superin-tendent of stores for a period of eight years. Among other duties he had charge of purchas-ing the supplies for the company's stores in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. During this time he became financially interested in copper mining and certain other investments which proved profitable. In 1897 he came to Franklin, Pennsylvania, as vice-president of the Signal Oil Company, and remained seven years. In the fall of 1904, for the sake of a milder climate, he moved with his family to St. Petersburg, Florida. In that city he was then extensively engaged in citrus growing, in real estate and in banking.
