General Notes: Husband - Wilbert Lamont Caler
He first attended school in the basement of the M. E. Church at Eau Claire, the public school being held there at that time, and later attended Prospect Academy. When his parents moved to Millerstown, or Chicora, he entered the grocery store of J. O. Martland. He next worked two years in the Leechburg Rolling Mills, after which he returned to Millerstown and worked in the machine shops for William Westerman. He conducted a feather renovator at Chicora four months, and then engaged in the fish business until he went out on the road as advance agent for the Monarch Ethiopian Company. The company became stranded at Mt. Alton, near Bradford, and Mr. Caler walked more than 100 miles in two feet of snow to get back home. He met with some novel experiences in roughing it for a time and saw much country. He finally returned to Chicora as grocery clerk for W. W. Campbell, and then became part owner of a bakery. After about three months he bought out his partner's interest, and conducted the business successfully for one year. He sold out the business and went to Pittsburgh, where he clerked in a grocery for two weeks, then entered the employ of the Miller Grocery Company. He became foreman for the Grand Union Tea Company, and later salesman for the Reineke Wilson Company, in the stove and range department, his work taking him to Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky. After his marriage he settled down at Eau Claire, buying an interest in the store of W. C. Jamison & Company.
