General Notes: Husband - James S. Hitchman
He attended the public schools of Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, and at Blairstown, New Jersey, and then entered Princeton College, but was shortly afterward called home to take up business duties. In 1886 he entered the First National Bank of Mount Pleasant in the capacity of teller, serving as such until 1893, when he was appointed to the presidency of the Citizens' National Bank, which position he held until the reorganization, April 2, 1904, when it became known as the City Savings & Trust Company and he was elected president of the same. He was also largely interested in the coal industry, from which he derived a goodly income. He was a staunch Republican in politics, but not an office-seeker.
