General Notes: Husband - David L. Newill

---

He spent his early years on the home farm in Mount Pleasant township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. His disposition was not to farming, and his intellectual capacity marked him out for activities of higher plane. After passing through the district school of his native place, his father encouraged him to develop his talent in the further facilities available at the Mount Pleasant Institute. There he studied, and in the course of time graduated, with commendable position among the graduates of his year. He thereafter had to a great extent to make his own way in life, being one of a large family born to parents of only limited means. After graduating at Mount Pleasant Institute in 1884, entered the teaching profession, but after two terms forsook that line of endeavor in order to register as a law student. He read law with W. H. Klingsmith, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and eventually was admitted to practice at the bar of Westmoreland County, in the August term of court of 1888. His power as an advocate, and his knowledge of general law brought him prestige rapidly, and within a few years of having been admitted to practice, he had been admitted to professional association with one of the most prominent lawyers of the county, the Hon. James S. Beacom, ex-State Treasurer. The law firm of Beacom & Newill held estimable position in the legal activities of Westmoreland County, and the junior member of the firm handled the interests of its extensive clientele during the many absences, on State affairs, of his eminent partner. But independent of his professional affairs he was interested in many of the leading financial and business enterprises of the locality. He was the president of the Barclay-Westmoreland Trust Company, of Greensburg, Pennsylvania; president of the First National Bank of Youngwood, Pennsylvania; president of the Greensburg Finance Company, and director of the Clare Coke Company. He gave allegiance to the Republican party in politics. He was a Mason, a member of Philanthropy Lodge, No. 225, Free and Accepted Masons.
