  ALFRED M. LIVERIGHT, county solicitor of the county of Clearfield, Pa., and 
junior member of the well known law firm of Krebs & Liveright, with offices on 
Locust Street, Clearfield, between First and Second, is a leading member of the 
Clearfield Bar.
  He was born at Davenport, Iowa, November 10, 1872, and is one of a family of 
six children born to his parents, Henry and Henrietta (Fleisher) Liveright, the 
former of whom was largely interested in the coal industry.
  Alfred M. Liveright was afforded educational opportunities which included 
collegiate advantages, and in 1891 he was graduated at the University of 
Pennsylvania.  In the following year he entered upon the study of law and was 
admitted to the bar in November, 1894, selecting Clearfield County as the field 
of his efforts.  In 1898, during the war with Spain, he was appointed deputy 
district attorney of the county, and performed the duties of that office until 
the end of the war.  In 1900 he entered into a partnership with former Judge 
David L. Krebs, whose death occurred January 25, 1911.  The combination of 
legal talent proved a strong one.  From early manhood Mr. Liveright has been 
interested in public affairs, and has identified himself with the Republican 
party.  In May 1906 he was first elected county solicitor of Clearfield County, 
and was re-elected in 1909.
  Mr. Liveright was married in 1899 to Miss Margaret Krebs, a daughter of D. L. 
Krebs, and they have two children, Mary Krebs and Henry, Jr.  Mr. and Mrs. 
Liveright are prominent in the social and educational life of the borough.
