General Notes: Husband - Lloyd Burrell Huff


He was educated in the public schools, after which he entered Trinity Hall, a well equipped preparatory institution at Washington, Pennsylvania. In 1889 he matriculated in the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at Troy, New York. In 1891 he left college to enter the coal and coke business with his father, taking charge of development work on a large coal and timber property near South Fork, in the Allegheny Mountains; in 1893 he returned to Greensburg and became treasurer and manager of all the important mining properties in that section. When the Keystone Coal & Coke Company, one of the largest coal and coke producers in Pennsylvania, was organized he became treasurer and general manager, his father, Hon. George F. Huff, being the president. Mr. Huff has gained prestige in other fields as an able and progressive young business man, well fitted for handling affairs of scope and importance, being president of the Pittsburg, McKeesport & Greensburg Railway Company, a director of the First National Bank of Greensburg and other like enterprises; also identified with both state and national horticultural and improvement associations. In his political proclivities Mr. Huff was a staunch Republican, for some years a member of the state central committee, and a loyal and efficient worker in his party. In 1895 he was appointed to the military staff of Governor Daniel H. Hastings with the rank of lieutenant-colonel. At the out-break of the Spanish-American war he was promoted to assistant commissary general of the national guard of Pennsylvania, and was one of the first to be called into service by the governor. He received orders to assist in the commissary arrangements necessary to put the Pennsylvania soldiers into the field, which work was accomplished with commendable ability.
