General Notes: Husband - David Burnett McCalmont

---

He was reared in Franklin, Pennsylvania, and received his preliminary education in its public school, passing through the high school, afterward entering the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University, from which he was graduated with the class of 1897. He then studied law under the office preceptorship of Bryan Osborne, and was admitted to the bar of Venango County August 26, 1900, and at once entered into practice. For ten years, from 1898 to 1908, he served in the Pennsylvania National Guard, attaining the rank of lieu­tenant. He was a Prohibitionist in politics, and in 1905 was elected to the state chairmanship of that party, occupying that position until 1909, when he resigned to take charge of the Venango Herald, the only Prohibition daily newspaper in the United States. He was the candidate of his party for local offices on various occasions, and in 1903 was nominated for district attorney, being defeated by only 308 votes, and receiving 3,394 votes. [GPHAV, 260]
