General Notes: Husband - Clarence O. Morris

He attended the local schools through boyhood and gave his father assistance on the farm, after which he entered Waynesburg College, where he was graduated in 1892. For some four years afterward he taught school, for two years in the country and two more at Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and during this time devoted as much attention as possible to his law studies, first under the supervision of the firm of Wylie, Buchanan & Walton, of Waynesburg, and later with W. M. Gillispie, of Punxsutawney. He was admitted to the bar of Jefferson County in 1897 and continued his association with Mr. Gillispie for four years. In 1901 he was admitted to the bar of Armstrong County and subsequently was admitted to practice in the Supreme and Superior courts and in the U. S. District courts. In 1901 he moved to Leechburg and established his office in the Farmers' National Bank building. While there he acted as solicitor for the boroughs of Leechburg, Apollo and Vandergrift, and continued in such position for Leechburg borough. He was appointed district attorney April 17, 1913, to fill a vacancy, and was elected for the full term of four years at the November (1913) elections. He moved to Kittanning Jan. 20, 1914.
