General Notes: Husband - Luther M. Axtell
He was reared and educated in the town of Coal Centre, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He graduated at the Southwestern State Normal School, California, Pennsylvania, in 1880, and afterward founded and conducted private schools with great success for several years, and became principal of the West Brownsville public schools, also serving in succession, as principal of the Burgettstown and Coal Centre schools. As an instructor in the public schools he was never surpassed. "He introduced into his school some of the finest points of the 'New Education,' and with the introduction came his marvelous success, which was the result of a determined and powerful intellect. He ended his brilliant career as a teacher at Grandville, Pennsylvania, and from the school at that place will come many who will show the power of his intellect." In 1891 he was elected county recorder on the Republican ticket, having from early life taken an active interest in politics. He had a long and severe illness, which he bore with Christian fortitude, and the end came quickly and peacefully, he remaining conscious until the last.
