General Notes: Husband - Winfield S. Luther


He attended the local schools until the age of sixteen, when he began teaching; later he graduated from the Eamborough State Normal School, and he became principal of the Fourth Ward school in DuBois, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.

He early became familiar with the life and work of the farm. He obtained his elementary education in the district schools of Brady township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, afterward entered Covode Academy, where he was graduated in 1868, and then matriculated in the State Normal of Edinboro, where he pursued his studies in 1870 and 1871. He thereafter devoted his energies to teaching, and is one of the most successful educators in his part of the state. He first had charge of a school at West Liberty, after which he remained for several years as teacher in the schools of Luthersburg. He taught there in 1896, and founded the public library. In 1882 he began teaching in Du Bois, and was the first city superintendent of schools. He thereafter was connected with the educational interests of the place, and was principal of the Fourth Ward school. He was for five years a member of the school board of the city, and was the oldest member of the Teachers' County Institute, with which he was connected beginning in 1867. An advocate of Democratic principles, Prof. Luther was well informed on the issues of the day, and from 1887 until 1890 he served as auditor of Clearfield County.
