General Notes: Husband - Rev. James M. Imbrie

---

He grew to manhood in Mahoning County, Ohio, and as a lad attended the country schools in the vicinity of his father's farm. He was subsequently sent to Westminster College, where he had been a student two years when the Civil war broke out, and he became a private in Company E, 23d Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the same regiment in which Presidents McKinley and Hayes served. Mr. Imbrie's service covered a period of three years, twenty-three days, his regiment being attached to the Army of the Potomac, and he served in such hotly-contested engagements as South Mountain and Antietam. At the conclusion of his service he returned to college, but while he was in his junior year his brother died and he was obliged to return to his home. Subsequently he read law and was admitted to the bar, later going to Nebraska, where he was engaged in practice in Cass County for some time. While there he became interested in the work of the United Presby­terian Church, and later returning to Penn­sylvania entered Allegheny Theological Semi­nary, from which he was graduated during the following spring. He was first sent as pastor of the churches of Clinton and Shiloh, in But­ler County, Pennsylvania, later had charge of the Mt. Zion congregation in Armstrong County, and eventually was sent to Murrysville and Beu­lah. Finally he came to Indiana, Pennsylvania. He was a member of G. A. R. Post No. 28, and in his political views was a Prohibitionist.
