General Notes: Husband - Albert S. Sprowls

---

He was reared on the home farm, attending, during the winter months, the common schools of his district. At the age of eighteen he commenced study at Waynesburg College, where he spent a few summer seasons, his winters in the meantime being occupied in teaching country schools. In February, 1875, he went to Mt. Union College, in Ohio, where he graduated in the classical course in 1877. He had registered as a law student with Alexander Wilson, Esq., Washington, in 1876, and after graduation read law with him. In September, 1879, he was admitted to the bar of the county, and in 1881 commenced the practice of his profession in Washington, in partnership with T. F. Birch, which continued till 1888, when it was dissolved by mutual consent. After this he carried on the business alone. He was a Democrat in politics, and in 1882, when Robert E. Pattison was running for governor, he was chosen chairman of the Democratic County Committee. He worked with unflagging zeal for the cause, and was in every election precinct during that fall. In 1883 he received the nomination for district attorney. While at college he was a member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, and was also a F. & A. M.
