General Notes: Husband - Reuben K. Hissem
He was educated in the common schools of his native township and at Mount Pleasant Institute. He assisted his father in the cultivation and management of the homestead farm until he was twenty-one years of age, when he assumed entire charge of the same, continuing along these lines until 1894, in which year he leased the property to others and then directed his energies into various other channels. He was one of the prime movers in the organization of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Mount Pleasant, in 1893, was elected its first president, and served in that capacity for over twelve years. He was a member of the directorate of the Savings and Trust Company of Scottdale, First National Bank of Jeannette, Jeannette Saving's and Trust Company, and the Greensburg Finance Company, discharging his duties in these different positions with efficiency and credit. He was a prominent factor in what was known as the old rolling mill, and was a director of the same until it was merged into a larger syndicate. He was a Republican in politics, and exercised a potent influence in behalf of the party whose principles he advocated. For six consecutive years he served as school director. He belonged to the Middle Presbyterian church, and was a ruling elder in that institution for almost a quarter of a century.
