General Notes: Husband - Dr. Frederick Charles Johnson


He received his primary and academic education in the Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, schools, after which he went to Wisconsin and took a partial course in Ripon College with the class of 1873. Beginning in 1871 he had a business training of ten years in Wilkes-Barre, meanwhile contributing to local newspapers and doing special correspondence from the coal regions for the Chicago Tribune. He also spent a year in Chicago as a reporter on the Tribune staff and was long on the list of Tribune correspondents. In 1880, he began a three years' course in the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with the degree of M. D. in 1883. Instead of engaging in the practice of medicine he took up journalism and purchased a half interest in the Wilkes-Barre Record. He was a member of the Wilkes-Barre Board of Trade; the New England Society; The Westmoreland Club; The Wyoming Historical and Genealogical Society; the Young Men's Christian Association; the Luzerne county Medical Society; the Pennsylvania State Medical Association; The Society for Prevention of Tuberculosis; the Wyoming Commemorative Association; the State and National Editorial Association; the Masonic Fraternity and the Sons of the Revolution.
