General Notes: Husband - John Edward Kunkle

---

He passed his boyhood days on the old homestead farm, in the meantime acquiring his preliminary education in the public schools. He continued his studies under Messrs. Chamberlain and Ryckman, taught school in Hempfield township in the winter, and attended the Greensburg seminary in the summer, preparatory to studying law. He then took up the study of law in the office of McAfee, Atkinson & Peoples, of Greensburg, at that time one of the leading law firms of Westmoreland County. He made excellent progress in his technical reading, and December 17, 1887, at the age of twenty-five years, was admitted to the bar of his native county, as well as later to practice in the Superior and Supreme courts. In 1889 he entered into a professional alliance, the firm controlling a large and representative legal business and being concerned in much important litigation. Mr. Kunkle showed himself a thoroughly qualified trial lawyer and one well informed in the minutiae of the science of jurisprudence, and always fortified himself by close and continuous study and by careful and conscientious preparation for every cause which he brought before court or jury. He was a member of the Westmoreland County Bar Association, and attained to high degree in the Masonic fraternity, a member of Kedron Commandery, Knights Templar, Greensburg, and rose to the thirty-second degree, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, being identified with the consistory at Pittsburgh, while he was also affiliated with the various York Rite bodies, and was a Noble of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He was a Republican in politics. He was a member of the First Reformed church and for years an elder in the congregation as well as secretary and superintendent of the Sunday school. He was one of the trustees of Franklin and Marshall College, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and was for a number of years a director of St. Paul's Orphans' Home, Butler, Pennsylvania, and later president of that institution.
