General Notes: Husband - Merion F. Leason

---

He was reared in his native county, where he always resided. He attended the common schools, completed the course of Tuscarora academy, and in September, 1872, entered Princeton college, from which institution of learning he was graduated in 1876. After graduation he passed the preliminary law examination, read law with W. L. Stewart, of Brookville, Pennsylvania, and was admitted to the county bar in February, 1877. In the autumn of that year he removed to Kittanning, where he then engaged in the practice of his profession. In 1879 he was elected district attorney; in 1889 he was the republican candidate for judge of the Thirty-third judicial district of Pennsylvania, composed of the county of Armstrong, but was defeated on account of dissensions within his own party. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and a Royal Arch Mason.

He was born in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and educated at Princeton College, New Jersey. He was admitted to the bar of Armstrong County in 1879, having been admitted previously to that of Jefferson County. During 1881 and 1882 he was district attorney of Armstrong County, and was placed on the Republican ticket for judge.
He was a Knight Templar Mason, and a member of the order of Elks. He and his wife belonged to the Presbyterian church.
