General Notes: Husband - Dr. John C. McClenathan


He grew to man's estate on his father's Washington County, Pennsylvania, farm, and received his early education in the common schools. In the fall of 1872 he entered Washington and Jefferson College, remained two years, after teaching two years returned to the same college and graduated with high honors, in the class of 1878, and received the degree of B. A. He took a classical course and stood near the head of the class of which he was a member at the time of his graduation. The degree of A.M. was conferred on him in 1882. Having acquired a thorough education, he turned his attention to medicine, as his chosen vocation of life. He had on purpose delayed his medical studies in order to get a thorough collegiate education, aware of the fact that such was highly essential, an invaluable aid in the successful practice of his profession. He read medicine with Dr. Thomas McKennan, one of the ablest physicians in Washington County, and afterward attended lectures at Jefferson Medical College, where he graduated in the class of 1881. In the same year, he completed a course in operative surgery for "bandaging and fracture dressing." In 1886 he went to New York City and took a post graduate course in the New York Post Graduate Medical College. After his graduation at Philadelphia, he came to Connellsville and engaged as a general practitioner, and built up and enjoyed a very large and lucrative practice.
He was a member of the Fayette County Medical Society and of the State Medical Society; was president, for four years, of the Chatauqua Literary Class at Connellsville, of which he was a graduate. His attention was given to the material interests of his adopted town as well as to his duties as a physician. He was secretary of the Connellsville Improvement Association, and an able promoter of any enterprise calculated to improve the town. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and a genial and affable gentleman. A well-read and skilled physician, he had an extensive and well selected library.
