General Notes: Husband - James Atkinson Weddell

---

He was descended from the following Revolutionary soldiers: William Sampson, Jr., ranger of the frontiers, 1780; William Thompson, who served as lieutenant; James Scott, Sr., lieutenant in the Westmoreland County Militia, 1777; and George Grant, captain of the 9th Pennsylvania, May 3, 1777.

He was educated in the grammar and high schools of Monongahela, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh Academy and Washington and Jefferson College, from which latter institution he was graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Adopting the profession of civil engineering, he entered practice at Monongahela in 1901, and two years later moved to Linton, Indiana, where he was mine manager and engineer of a local coal company from 1904 to 1907. In 1908 he joined the Pittsburgh Steel Company as a civil engineer and in 1910 began a connection with the American Steel and Wire Company. From that time he was occupied without his responsibilities as construction engineer at the Donora plants of the company. Mr. Weddell was a member of the Monongahela City School Board and for many years was active in the civic life of the city. He was affiliated fraternally with the Masonic Order, in which he was a member of the Blue Lodge and the several higher Scottish Rite bodies, including the Consistory, and was a member of the Presbyterian Church.
