General Notes: Husband - Dr. Francis Marion Finley


He was born in Union township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was educated at the common schools and in private academies, entering Washington College in 1850. He graduated in 1854, and then entered Jefferson Medical College, but was compelled to return home on account of sickness, and there remained after the death of his father.
He was a Republican, and was a member of the school board for years. He was connected with the Presbyterian Church of Finleyville, to which he gave hearty support. [CBRWC, ]

He was small when his parents moved to the Huston farm in Union Township, Washington County, and from there to Finleyville, and here he attended school and later went to Washington College, from which he was graduated in 1854. He decided to study medicine and prepared for college under Dr. C. W. Townsend, of Union Township, entered Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, and was pursuing his studies there when his father died. This recalled him home and he then took charge of the home farm of 250 acres, and to its cultivation he devoted the remainder of his active years. [TCHWWC, 568]
