General Notes: Husband - Harry Clarence Walley

---

He grew up on the family home farm, and attended the public schools until sixteen years of age, then left home and went West, where he spent five years as clerk in a mercantile business, and teaching school in Madison County, Nebraska. He then returned home, spent four years with his father in the oil business, located in New Kensington, Pennsylvania, in 1892, establishing a grocery business on McCargo street under the firm name of H. C. Walley. He conducted that business successfully for six years, until March, 1898, then sold out and then engaged in the real estate and insurance business with offices at No. 214 First National Bank Building. He still retained an interest in the oil business, was a director of the Logan Trust Company, and also had other business connections which prospered under his management. A Republican in politics, Mr. Walley was always interested in public affairs, and in 1896, and until 1899 served as a member of the borough council. He was a member of the Knights of Malta, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of the Maccabees, and of the First Presbyterian Church, which he served as chairman of the board of trustees.
