General Notes: Husband - Thomas Hudson Williams

---

He was educated at a private school in Monongahela, Pennsylvania, and at the age of sixteen entered Duff's Business College in Pittsburgh. On leaving this, in 1852, he set sail from New York for California, via Cape Horn, the voyage consuming six weeks. On his arrival at the "New Eldorado" he at once commenced to work in the mines, at which he continued two years; then was engaged in banking at Maripoza, with Sullivan & Cashman, with whom he remained until 1858, when he returned home by the same route he went. He later located at Pittsburgh, where he was engaged in the wholesale grocery business for two years; from there he went to Oil City, where for fifteen years he was engaged in general merchandising and oil producing. In 1875 he returned to Monongahela, and purchased the home farm, where he passed the remainder of his days.
He was a Republican, and at one time served as mayor of Monongahela. In church connection he was a prominent and influential Presbyterian. In all educational matters he took special interest, and was, at the time, secretary of the school board and president of the building committee.
