General Notes: Husband - Samuel S. Ulerich

---

He received his early education in township schools, afterward attending the Ligonier Academy. On completing his course of study Mr. Ulerich taught for eight terms in the schools of the following townships: Unity and Ligonier; also the borough of New Florence. Later, as a member of the firm of Lang & Ulerich he associated himself with mercantile business in Johnstown, but the year was that of the historic flood and his stay there was necessarily shortened. After four years spent in business in Latrobe, Mr. Ulerich went to Waterford, Ligonier township, bought out the business of R. O. Barber and for one year was engaged in a mercantile enterprise on his own account. The next migration of Mr. Ulerich was to New Florence, where he was destined to remain, becoming the proprietor of a general store. In 1898, when the New Florence Water Company was organized, he became its secretary, an office which he filled for six years, at the end of which time the concern handed over their outfit to the borough of New Florence. In the realm of politics Mr. Ulerich was always active and always in association with the Republican party. He never missed a vote in either primary or general election. For eighteen years he served as school director, and at the election in November, 1917, was again made a member of the board, becoming its vice-president. In 1912 he was appointed justice of the peace to fill an unexpired term and later was elected for a full term, his commission to expire in 1920. In 1914 he was elected chief burgess. In addition to his mercantile business, Mr. Ulerich handled insurance. He was a member of the American Insurance Union, No. 67, and for eight years served as its treasurer. He was also second lieutenant of the New Florence Fire Company. In fraternal circles Mr. Ulerich was a conspicuous figure. He was the last living charter member of New Florence Lodge, No. 558, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, which was organized in 1889, and of which he was past noble grand, and was for eight years treasurer of Washington Camp, No. 725, Patriotic Order of Sons of America. He was a past regent of New Florence Council, No. 481, Royal Arcanum, in which for eight years he filled the office of secretary. His religious membership was in the Methodist Episcopal church, and occupied a seat on the board of stewards. For twenty years he served as superintendent of the Sunday school. He was active in all things in helping the cause of democracy in the first World War.
