General Notes: Husband - Dr. James Madison Dille


He was reared and educated in his native state, graduating from the Starling Medical College in 1845. He came to Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1850, settling at Cooperstown, in Jackson Township, and not only made a reputation as a first-class general practitioner but was also a leader in all the other activities of the profession. His thoroughly progressive spirit never abated, even in old age, for he had more time then to keep up with the advances made in his calling and enjoyed doing so. He was a charter member of the Venango County Medical Society and served that organization officially; was the first pension examining surgeon in the county and held that position until the board was organized; and he led the typical active life of the old-time country doctor, taking long rides on horseback to reach many of his patients and never refusing them any attention because of the personal discomfort to himself. Eventually he retired because of advancing age. Dr. and Mrs. Dille were associated with the Presbyterian Church. [CAB, 654]
