General Notes: Husband - Raphael Stearns Smullin
He was brought up in Mahoning township, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, and received his higher education in Dayton Academy and Allegheny College. He commenced his business career in the oil fields of Venango County, and in the Parker oil district, where he spent three years, and he spent the next few years engaged in the fire insurance business at Putneyville. This he followed until 1880, when he removed to Council Bluffs, Iowa, and engaged in the same business for three years. He was then appointed captain of the police there and held that position for four years. At this time he went to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he remained fifteen years, six of which were spent in the insurance business, and the remaining nine years he engaged in the grocery business. His health failing, he sold out his grocery and came east, locating at Ravenna, Ohio, where he had charge of a gang of men in the handle department of the sadiron works one year. His wife's death occurred there and in 1903 he returned to Putneyville, where he was then the representative of the Hartford Fire Insurance Company.
He was a member of the Woodman of the World, Camp No. 625, of Lincoln, Nebraska. In politics he was a stanch Republican.
