General Notes: Husband - Dr. John K. Maxwell


He received a good practical education, and at the age of twenty-one was appointed surveyor of Clarion County, Pennsylvania. In 1845 he took up the study of medicine with Dr. James Ross in Clarion, after which he entered the University of Pennsylvania, from which he graduated in 1851, and located in Worthington, Armstrong County, where he practiced until March 3, 1863, when he enlisted in the Union Army. On account of his ability he was appointed assistant surgeon of the 45th Regiment, Pa. Vols., and served until Aug. 31, 1864, when he was discharged on account of physical disability, and returned to Worthington. After regaining his health he resumed his practice, which was large and lucrative, and continued until the time of his death.
He was a Presbyterian and a member of Kittanning Lodge, F. and A. M.
