General Notes: Husband - William James McMarlin

---

He was educated in the public and high schools of his native place and from his sixteenth to his twentieth year was associated with his father in oil production in western Pennsylvania, and there gained a thorough knowledge of the business. Later he found ready employment with J. G. and W. Campbell, then engaged in the oil-well supply and foundry business, and after five years of close attention he was master of that business. Thus well equipped for practical business life he determined to seek a wider field for his operations, and in 1897 made his way to Pittsburgh, where he took the management of the Expanded Metal Fireproofing Company, an enterprise which supplied material and put in place high grade, concrete-steel fireproofing for floors, roofs, columns, partitions and outside walls. They were the only concern in Pittsburg doing this special kind of builders' work. During the years he conducted the business the establishment increased more than tenfold, growing from fifty thousand dollars a year to more than that amount a month.
In addition to that branch of industry, Mr. McMarlin was the vice-president and director of the Merchants and Manufacturers Paper Company, and treasurer of the McDowell Manufacturing Company of Pittsburgh.
He was a lover of outdoor sports and frequently found a needed diversion from business routine by fishing, enjoying the ball ground and watching a fair, spirited horse race. He belonged to the Union, Bellfield and German Clubs of Pittsburgh and was a thirty-second degree Mason, having taken the numerous degrees in that fraternity, and was a member of the Mystic Shriners.
