General Notes: Husband - James C. Cribbs

---

He received his education in the public schools and at the Greensburg Academy. Before he was fourteen years of age he was agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Grapeville, where he spent four years. He then engaged in merchandising on his own account at Grapeville, as one of the firm of Baughman & Cribbs, which existed for four years. He then went to Greensburg and followed the butcher business for ten years. In 1892 he moved to Jeannette and opened a clothing store, which he conducted for three years, and then engaged in the real estate and insurance business. He was an active, public-spirited citizen of the borough, has contributed largely to the material success of the place, and through his efforts some of the factories have been there established. He was one of the organizers of the Jeannette Milling Company. Politically he prefered Prohibition principles, but was thoroughly independent. He was a member of the Order of Heptasophs.
The family were members of the Reformed church at Jeannette, PA, Mr. Cribbs having served on the official boards and as delegate to the higher judicial boards. He took an active part in Sunday school work, both at home and in the county, denominational and inter-denominational.
