General Notes: Husband - William Hodge Burchfield
He completed a general education at the Lawrenceville School in 1898, and then matriculated at Princeton University from which he was graduated with a degree of Bachelor of Science in the class of 1902. The same year he returned to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and became associated with the Joseph Horne Company. He started in a modest capacity and worked through the various departments of the organization. In 1909, he was elected a member of the board of directors and later was named to a position as second vice-president. He was sought on numerous occasions to serve in an official advisory capacity for other large enterprises and was a director of the Continental Trust Company and member of the board of trustees of the Grove City College.
Despite the pressure of business he found time to devote to social and civic affairs and was a member of several leading clubs in the vicinity, including the University Club, the Pittsburgh Press Club, Duquesne Club, Yale-Harvard-Princeton Club, the Stanton Heights Golf Club, the Pittsburgh Athletic Association and the local Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons. He worshipped at the Sixth United Presbyterian Church.
