General Notes: Husband - George Lamberton Craft

---

He was educated in the grammar and high schools of Warren, Pennsyl­vania, and the Pennsylvania State College. He followed in his father's footsteps for a few years in oil refining, but in 1904 sold his interests and joined C. R. Henry to purchase the old Sill Insurance Agency. This became the Craft Agency, Inc., of which George Lamberton Craft was the president. He also was a director of the First National Bank, of Warren, vice-president of the Piso Company, of the city, a firm that for more than sixty years has engaged in the manu­facture and distribution of cough medicines; vice-presi­dent of the Pennsylvania Bottle Company, in Sheffield, Pennsylvania; president of the Barnhart Davis Company of Warren, a foundry and machine works. Among his directorships were those in the Knox Glass Bottle Com­pany, at Knox, Pennsylvania; Smith & Horton Company, of Warren; and he held a financial interest in other enterprises.
Despite his many business activities, Mr. Craft entered heartily into many phases of Warren city and county community life. He was a popular figure in the Chamber of Commerce, the Conewango Valley Country Club, both of Warren; and fraternally was affiliated with North Star Lodge, No. 241, Free and Accepted Masons, and the higher bodies of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, including Zem Zem Temple, at Erie, Pennsylvania, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine; the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. His college fraternity was Beta Theta Pi, and he attended the First Presbyterian Church.
