General Notes: Husband - Henry F. Detwiler

---

He was quite early taught to work on the farm, and run errands for his father. He began attending the public school at the age of five years, when he had to learn to speak English. He continued working in summer, and going to school in winter until his twentieth year, when he attended the West Virginia University, at Morgantown, one term of three months. On August 10, 1869, he went to Otterbein University, at Westerville, Ohio, where he completed the prescribed classical course of study on June 3, 1875, after a continuous course of six years. On January 14, 1875, he was registered as a student at law with the Hon. C. E. Boyer, of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He began the study of law about Mar. 1, 1876, and remained in his preceptor's office one year, when he was admitted to practice law in the several courts of Fayette County, on March 8, 1877. He was Mayor of Uniontown during the years 1883-4 and 5. He never but once aspired to any higher office, and then was defeated for District Attorney. He was a member of the Y. M. C. A., and he and his wife were members of the M. E. church.
