General Notes: Husband - Dr. Ambrose Watts Thrush


He was born in Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until he was eleven years of age, when he accompanied his mother (his father in the meantime having died) to a farm in Greene township, Franklin County. He attended the public schools, and in his young manhood taught there for eight years. He then for about three years attended the Shippensburg State Normal School, and his medical studies were begun under the direction of Dr. David Maclay, of Chambersburg. In the spring of 1890 he graduated from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Returning home he bought out a practice in Green Village, and at once began the active practice of his profession.
In his political views Dr. Thrush was a stanch Republican, and from 1893 to 1896 he served as coroner. Socially he was a member of the Royal Arcanum, and professionally he was a member of the Franklin County Medical Society.
