General Notes: Husband - William Himrod

---

He attended the East Ward school, Erie Academy, and the academy in Waterford, then the best educational institution in Erie County. Immediately thereafter he became one of the engineering corps of the Sunbury and Erie (later the Philadelphia and Erie) R. R. In 1860 he went to Chicago, where he was engaged in bookkeeping for five years. Returning to Erie, he entered the employ of the Erie and Pittsburg R. R., holding the position for some years of clerk of the motive power department. In 1869 he was associated in the establishment of a boot and shoe manufacturing business, first under the firm name of Arbuckle & Himrod, and subsequently the Keystone Boot and Shoe Co., limited, of which Mr. Himrod was manager. Upon the failure of this company, he was appointed by the United States government as inspector of dredging in Erie harbor. Upon the completion of this work he was made buyer of lumber for the Erie Car Works, and was engaged in that capacity until 1889. During the following two years he carried on a pig iron, coal, coke, and general brokerage business. In 1891 he was appointed secretary and treasurer of the commissioners of waterworks in Erie.
He and his wife attended the Central Presbyterian Church. Mr. Himrod was for a number of years a member of the board of trustees of that congregation.
He was a 33d degree Mason and of the York Rite; Past Master of Tyrian Lodge, No. 362; Senior Past High Priest, Temple Chapter, No. 215; Senior Past Thrice Illustrious Grand Master, Jerusalem Council, No. 33; Past Eminent Commander of Mount Olivet Commandery, No. 30. In the Scottish Rite he was Senior Past Thrice Potentate Grand Master, Presque Isle Lodge of Perfection. He was nine years District Deputy Grand Master for Erie county. Mr. Himrod was chosen May 5, 1874, to succeed his father as one of the incorporators of the Erie cemetery, and on May 4, 1886, was elected one of its board of managers. [BDHRBEC, 584]
