General Notes: Husband - Samuel Washington Waite

---

The advantages afforded him for securing an education were very meagre, and at an early age he started out to earn his own livelihood, first working as a hostler for Dr. Hillbish, of Rebersburg, Pennsylvania, with whom he remained for four years. His first experience in mercantile pursuits was in the employ of W. F. Bailey, of the same place, his wages being $3 per week. He accompanied his employer on his removal to Woodward, Centre County, and later to Galesburg, Illinois, where he remained for several years, but finally returned to Spring Mills, Pennsylvania, clerking there for a time. Later he rented a farm near Sprucetown, Centre County, for a year, and for the following six years operated rented land in Gregg township, in the same county. Subsequently he lived for one year on the farm of Abram Miller, at Pleasant Gap. In the spring of 1892 Mr. Waite purchased a lot in Rebersburg, on which he erected a residence and store building, and the following spring began general merchandising.
