General Notes: Husband - Carroll Bancroft Rugh, M.D.

---

He passed his childhood and early youth in his native place. He received his elementary education at the local public schools of New Alexandria and was prepared for college at the high school there. He had decided while still very young to follow in his father's footsteps and adopt medicine as his profession, and with this end in view he matriculated at the Washington & Jefferson College. From this institution he graduated with the class of 1883 and he then immediately entered the Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, where his father had graduated years before. From this institution he graduated in 1885 with his degree of medical doctor and at once began the practice of his profession. With the exception of about eighteen months in Pittsburgh, Dr. Rugh followed his profession without intermission at New Alexandria. He was a deep and profound student of the literature of his subject and also a practical man, who could apply his theoretical knowledge accurately to the actual situation. He was a cheerful and encouraging physician in the sick room, and enjoyed a very large popularity throughout the entire region. Dr. Rugh was a member of the County, State and National Medical associations.
He was a director of the New Alexandria National Bank and was closely identified with the management of this institution. In politics Dr. Rugh was a Prohibitionist, but was not very active in that party. In his religious belief he was a Presbyterian, and like his father before him was an elder in the church of that denomination at New Alexandria. He was affiliated with the local body of the Woodmen of the World.
