General Notes: Husband - Victor Albertus Barnhart

---

He spent his early youth on his father's farm near Green Castle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, and was nine years of age when his par­ents moved to that village. He assisted his father about the store and attended the public schools, graduating from Green Cas­tle High School in 1896. He later attend­ed Mercersburg Academy, graduating in 1898, and Franklin and Marshall College, from which he was graduated in 1902. He then became an instructor in the schools of Green Castle, serving during the school year of 1902-1903; the following school year he served as teacher in the schools of West Newton, and during the year 1904-1905 was principal of the school at St. Paul's Orphans' Home at Butler. He was principal of the public schools of Evans City during 1905-1906, and the following school year taught science in Butler High School. His success as an educator was pronounced, but other fields offering great­er financial returns he gave up the profes­sion and in June, 1907, started in the real estate and insurance business at Evans City, maintaining an office on Pittsburg Street.
Frater­nally, Mr. Barnhart was a member of Mt. Pisgah Lodge, No. 443, F. & A. M., at Green Castle; Lodge No. 817, I. O. O. F. of Evans City, and Lodge No. 292, K. P. of Evans City. Religiously, he and his wife were members of the Reformed Church.
