General Notes: Husband - Jacob Evans Van Gorder

---

He was born in Perry Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, on the old Van Gorder mill property, and acquired his early education in the No. 4 School in Perry Township. He was subsequently a student for about two years at Grove City College, which he left in 1891. After graduating in a commercial course he entered the employ of G. W. Miller & Son, of New Castle. After remaining with them for a while, he went on a farm and was engaged for a short time in agricultural pursuits. He then entered into the feed business in Ellwood City, but subsequently sold out his interest, and on May 9, 1907, assumed the duties of his present position as vice-president and bookkeeper of the People's Bank.
His political principles are those of the Republican party, but he takes no active part in politics, finding sufficient occupation in the performance of his business duties.
He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian Church at Ellwood City, having formerly belonged to the Slippery Rock Church.
