General Notes: Husband - Dr. Cyrus Black King

---

He graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1862, and was numbered among the most distinguished medical men in Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, where he always pursued his profession, and was a Professor in the Western Pennsylvania Medical College.

He was educated at Columbia College, Washington, D. C., and at the age of about twenty years began reading medicine with an older brother at Monongahela City. In 1861 he entered Jefferson College and two years later graduated with honors. On the 8th of March, 1863, the day succeeding his graduation, he entered the Union army as assistant surgeon, and was at once assigned to duty in the army hospital at Philadelphia, where he continued to serve until the close of the war. He was then appointed superintendent of the West Penn Hospital and the Pittsburgh Soldiers' Home, Pittsburgh, and served in that capacity for four years, when he removed to Allegheny (later the Northside, Pittsburgh) and began private practice, still continuing in charge of the medical department of the hospital for two years longer. For years Dr. King was numbered among Pittsburgh's most eminent physicians, and his practice was a very extensive one. Dr. King was a member of the following medical associations: American, Centennial, State and Allegheny County, and he was president of the last. He was on the staff of the Allegheny General Hospital, the Children's Memorial Hospital of Allegheny, Pittsburgh Hospital for Children, and was consulting surgeon for the McKeesport Hospital. Dr. King was a constant and laborious reader, and always kept in touch with the achievements of research throughout the medical world; and his library testified to his thoroughness as to details and his infinite capacity for taking pains. It was well stocked with books of many countries, medical classics, reports and annals, and he was constantly adding to his supply of references and information on the many and varied points of interest attached to his exacting profession.
