General Notes: Husband - Thomas Ray Thorne

---

He attended public schools in Green­ville, Pennsylvania, was graduated from Greenville High School in 1894, and completed his studies at the Corry Commercial College in the following year. In boyhood he became in­terested in banking and finance, and naturally he turned to this work when the time came for him to begin his own active career. He became a messenger of the First National Bank of Greenville in 1897, and for seventeen years remained with that institution. Then, in 1914, he was elected cashier of the Greenville National Bank. In 1927 he was made president of the bank.
He interested himself deeply in civic problems in his city, and beginning in 1923 served on the Greenville Board of Education. He was a Democrat in politics, and was active in the work of civic, social, fraternal and financial organizations. He belonged to the American Bankers' Association, the Greenville Country Club and the Sons of the American Revolution.
