General Notes: Husband - Dr. Charles Templeton Maclay, M.D.
He was educated at Maclay's schoolhouse in Lurgan township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in subscription schools promoted by his father, by whom the best schoolmasters obtainable were secured. During his life time he kept a diary, in which he wrote earnest tributes to some of his early teachers. No published work affords such vivid pictures of Lurgan manners and customs, in the first half of the nineteenth century, as this diary. It is especially valuable for its references to the singing schools of his time and their frequenters. He was an enthusiastic lover of music, especially singing, and in his youth assisted at the singing schools for miles around Maclay's Mill. He studied medicine with Dr. Rankin in Shippensburg, and began the practice of his profession at Greenvillage in 1840, acquiring a large and lucrative practice, to which he devoted himself for nearly half a century. He was popular in his manners and a leader of men. In politics he was an active Republican worker. Endowed with fine conversational powers he was an entertaining companion. He was a man of wide reading, and his knowledge of the early history, traditions and legends of the county was extensive. He preserved much valuable material relating to the Middle Spring and Rocky Spring churches that otherwise would have been lost, and was a frequent contributor of historical articles to the newspapers.
