General Notes: Husband - Dr. Frank Mortimer McClelland, M.D.


He was reared on his father's farm in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and helped with the agricultural work at home until he was twenty-five years old. His education was begun in the local public schools, and later he attended the high school at Utica and McElwain Institute in Mercer County, as well as the Edinboro State Normal School, preparing for teaching, which profession he followed for seven years from 1878, in the public schools of Mercer County. During this period he had commenced reading medicine with Dr. D. S. Brown, of Utica, and in 1885 he matriculated in the medical department of Western Reserve University, Ohio, graduating therefrom in the spring of 1887, with the class prize in materia medica and therapeutics. He immediately located at Utica, where he thereafter practiced, his circle of patients being scattered over a wide area in Venango and the adjoining parts of Mercer County. He was popular personally as well as professionally, his various interests bringing him into touch with a large percentage of the local population. He performed a much needed service in his activities as a member of the board of health, to which he belonged ever since its organization, and his worth was recognized by the profession, his standing among his fellow practitioners being of the highest. For more than twenty years he held the office of school director, his progressive ideas and hearty cooperation in all beneficial measures having a decidedly good effect on the improvement of public educational facilities in his locality. On political questions he supported the Republican Party. He acquired some important business interests in the Butler County oil fields as well as in local farm properties, owning a couple of farms which he operated successfully with hired help, making a specialty of dairying.
