General Notes: Husband - George B. Whitehill
He attended the common schools of Clarion County, Pennsylvania, until he was sixteen years of age, then went to the Belleview Academy, in Jefferson County, for one term, and the following winter taught school in Polk township, Jefferson County. His sister, Maggie A., who was one of the most able and successful teachers in the schools of the county, furnished our subject the means to attend the Belleview Academy, and was the greatest help to him possible, and he gratefully acknowledged her aid and influence in imparting a desire for knowledge, a useful life and all that was best in his character. Later he attended the Edinboro State Normal School one spring term, and was among the first to take advantage of the establishment of the Clarion State Normal School in 1887. Teaching each winter and attending the spring term at the Normal, he was finally graduated from the Clarion State Normal School in the class of '91, one of the best of his class. Following this, he taught for two years in the Clarion Public schools, and was for two years principal of the public schools of Mt. Jewett, Pennsylvania. In all he taught twelve terms in Clarion, Jefferson, Elk and McKean counties.
In September, 1895, he purchased a third interest in the Clarion Jacksonian, and a few weeks thereafter the Twice-a-week Jacksonian was started. On July 1, 1896, he became sole proprietor of the paper by purchasing the interest of his partner, John J. Shick. The Jacksonian, as the name indicates, is Democratic, and while not extremely partisan will under his management was always true to Democratic principles. It was the only "twice-a-week" in that section, and was often called "the paper the people read." Mr. Whitehill's education and long experience as a teacher well prepared him for the editorial chair and with his characteristic energy he mastered the details of the work as well as learned much of its mechanical part. He was a charter member of the "Protected Home Circle" at Mt. Jewett, Pennsylvania, and a member of Clarion Lodge No. 252, I. O. O. F.
