General Notes: Husband - Dr. William W. Carrier

---

He received his preliminary education in the Clarion, Pennsylvania, public schools, attended the State Teachers' College there and subsequently prepared for his chosen profession at the Western University of Pennsylvania (later the University of Pittsburgh). During this period he also taught school for six years. From this institution he was graduated in 1904, taking the degree of Doctor of Medicine. In the same year he began the general practice of medicine at Summerville, Pennsylvania. As Summerville's only physician, he was constantly busy with the demands of his practice. Nevertheless, he found time for other interests. In 1921 he established the only drug store in the community. He served as a director of the Union National Bank of Summerville and of the Red Bank Telephone Company.
Dr. Carrier was a member of the American Medical Association and the Pennsylvania State and Jefferson County Medical societies. He was affiliated fraternally with the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, in which he was a member of all higher bodies of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, including the thirty-second degree of the Consistory, and a member of Jaffa Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at Altoona. Dr. Carrier was also affiliated with the Patriotic Order of the Sons of America. A Methodist in religious faith, he served on the official board of his church.
