General Notes: Husband - George W. Dilworth

---

He obtained his education in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but this did not cease with his school days, for being a great reader his knowledge kept increasing all through life, and he was especially much interested in history. His first business venture was when he became a partner of his brother, John Dilworth, the firm being known as John S. Dilworth & Company. After some years he left his brother, and the firm of Dilworth, Harper & Company was established. In 1871 Mr. Harper died and Joseph Dilworth was admitted to the firm, when the name was changed to Dilworth Brothers, who were known far and near as the leading wholesale grocery firm of Pittsburgh. Few men had a wider circle of acquaintances and enjoyed the respect and esteem of the community to so great an extent as did he.
Not alone in business was he prominent. He was never too busy to turn aside to attend to some call of justice and kindness. He had varied business interests, being a director of the Citizens' National Bank; a trustee of the Dollar Savings Bank; as well as a director in several other mercantile corporations. In social relations he was one of the oldest members of the Duquesne Club, and its chairman at the time of his death. He held many positions of trust and honor, being a member of the board of directors of the Western Pennsylvania Institute for the Blind, and of the Homewood cemetery. He was one of five of the appraisers in the condemnation proceedings for the United States government against the Monongahela Navigation Company.
