General Notes: Husband - Roswell G. Yingling
He was a founder and professor in the Clarion State Normal School, a graduate of Lebanon, Ohio. Later a prosperous brick and coal dealer in Pittsburgh, PA.
After securing all that was to be had in the public school he attended West Freedom Academy and prepared for the profession of teacher. Teaching in the public schools in Clarion and McKean counties was but a stepping stone to higher education. He attended State Normal at Edinboro, Pennsylvania, then after further teaching attended the National University at Lebanon, Ohio. Graduating from that institution, he entered on a career in Clarion, Pennsylvania, first in the public school, then in Carrier Seminary (a private normal school in Clarion, a Methodist concern), taught there two summers, then this school was purchased by stockholders and became a State Normal School. Much of the success and completion of this transaction was due to the indefatigable vim and progressive measures of Mr. Yingling. He was a stockholder, manager and teacher in the school for nearly twenty years, and to him must be given much credit for its success. From the beginning (1886) for over twenty-five years he was a trustee of the school.
