General Notes: Husband - Frank W. Badger
He spent his boyhood in attending the public school and in helping on the farm, and the first work he did independently was a job of cutting stave bolts. Beginning in 1891 he was engaged in the brick business and for fourteen years was engaged in brick contracting. About 1897 he entered into partnership with Mr. Shull and in 1904 they increased their capacity by purchasing a brick plant at Butler and did a large business in brick and brick work. Mr. Shull took the responsibility of providing the material and Mr. Badger secured the contracts and this arrangement was profitable to both members of the firm. Among the substantial and attractive buildings for which they furnished the brick may be mentioned: the Y. M. C. A. building; the bank building at Wilmington, Pennsylvania; Grace Lutheran Church; the City Hospital; the Institute Hill School building; the Campbell hardware firm's building; the Butler I. O. O. F. Temple; and a fine Methodist Church at Grove City.
