General Notes: Husband - David B. Oliver


He was educated in the public schools of Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. He took an active part in educational matters, serving more than thirty-five years on the school board, consecutively, twelve years of which time he was its president. In 1866, with his brother, James B. Oliver, he was admitted to the firm of Lewis, Oliver and Philips, manufacturers of bolts and nuts, at South Pittsburgh. In 1880, when Mr. Lewis sold his interest, the firm was reorganized and the firm of Oliver Brothers and Philips was formed, of which he was made general manager. In 1888, when the business was incorporated as the Oliver Iron and Steel Company, David B. Oliver also became general manager, continuing until 1891, when he retired from active business life.


Notes: Marriage

Besides the children listed, there were seven who were deceased earlier.
