General Notes: Husband - Albert K. Williams


His education was obtained in the common schools of his native city and was concluded when he was fourteen years of age. His first employment was on the Erie and Pennsylvania Railroad where he remained six months in the capacity of mail agent. He then took a place on a steamboat and learned the baker's trade at which he worked three years. For several years following he cooked in restaurants and on steamboats, returning to Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in 1879. Preferring an outdoor life and a more active employment he next became a brakeman on the Pennsylvania Railroad system and followed that occupation until an injury to one of his hands compelled him to relinquish that kind of work, and he went to work in the coal mines. Several years were spent in mining and then he returned to the railroad service, where he worked two years as a brakeman. From 1886 to 1888 he had leave of absence and had other employment. In 1888 he returned and was employed as a flagman. In 1898 he was promoted to freight conductor, and for some years had a steady run.
Mr. Williams was a member of Lodge No. 114, Order of Railroad Conductors, Pittsburgh; also of Lodge No. 484 Knights of Pythias, Greensburg. In politics he was a Republican. He was a member of Christ Church, Greensburg.
