General Notes: Husband - Andrew William Mellon


He was educated in the Western University of Pennsylvania (University of Pittsburgh). In young manhood he acquired extensive business interests which increased with the years until he became one of the group of men to whom finance and industry look for leadership. Mr. Mellon was associated with Henry C. Frick in the development of coal, coke, and iron enterprises, and assumed numerous official positions, among them: Vice-president of the Union Trust Company; director of the Workingmen's Savings and Trust Company, Bessemer Trust Company (Braddock, PA), Duquesne Trust Company, Braddock National Bank (Duquesne, PA), Monongahela Trust Company (Homestead, PA), Wilkinsburg Bank, East Pittsburgh Savings and Trust Company, Union Fidelity Title Insurance Company, the Ligonier Valley Railroad, of which he was secretary, and various others. Mr. Mellon was the founder of the town of Donora, Pennsylvania, where great steel mills were established. He served as a trustee of the Carnegie Institute, was well known socially, and was a member of the leading clubs.
His choice for the treasury portfolio by President Harding was well received in his party and in the country-at-large.
