General Notes: Husband - Edwin Dixon Ivory

---

He attended public school at Clarion, PA, and later studied at the Clarion Normal School. He then moved with his parents to New York, where he was employed as a clerk for a time. Being a close observer and per­sistent reader he endeavored to become well informed, and he added to his early education by attendance at night school since he began work. Thus in a measure he may be said to have been self-educated. Moving to Pitts­burgh, PA, he found employment in the estab­lishment of George Van Kirk for a short time. Being endowed with natural talent and liking for the art of designing, he learned the trade of designer and draughtsman, and in time became designer of fine chandeliers for the S. Keighley Metal Ceiling and Manufac­turing Company, of Pittsburgh, holding that position for about eleven years. The confine­ment, however, affected his health so seriously that he was obliged to abandon the business, and he located at Ford City, where he en­gaged in the real estate and insurance line. In the spring of 1911 he was appointed jus­tice of the peace. He became further con­nected with the business interests of the place as stockholder, secretary and treasurer of the Ford City Brick Manufacturing Company, which was originally organized for the man­ufacture of the ordinary red brick. The com­pany later, however, discovered that in its property holdings was a large bed of first-class firebrick clay, and began to manufac­ture that kind of brick extensively in the de­velopment of this find. Mr. Ivory was a mem­ber of the I. O. O. F. lodge at Ford City, of the Independent Americans, and of the Royal Arcanum. In religious connection he was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
