General Notes: Husband - John Henry Troutman


After receiving an excellent education in the local schools, supplemented by a full course at Witherspoon Institute and years of thoughtful reading and study, Mr. Troutman began business as a clerk in his father's store. In 1885 he was made a partner, and at the time of his death was associated with his two brothers, George and William Troutman. After his death, his widow inherited his half-interest in the firm, and her children later bought out the two brothers' other one-half interest, in February, 1923.
Mr. Troutman was president of the Butler Savings and Trust Company and of the Standard Plate Glass Company, of which he was an originator and incorporator. He had been identified with the organization of the Butler Light, Heat and Motor Company, and with the Butler Ice Company. He was also connected with the Diamond Alkali Company of Pittsburgh, the Butler Beef and Provision Company, and the Standard Steel Car Company of Butler. For thirty-five years he was associated with local banking interests as director and at the time of his death was president of the Butler Savings and Trust Company.
Mr. Troutman's civic and charitable activities were as manifold as his business enterprises. He was a member and trustee of St. Mark's Lutheran Church, a member of the local Young Mens' Christian Association, and of the Chamber of Commerce. In politics an independent Republican, Mr. Troutman could always be counted on for thoughtful support of worthwhile measures. He was a member of the University Club and the Butler Country Club.
