General Notes: Husband - Dr. William Joseph McDowell, M.D.
He was reared on his father's farm in Washington County, Pennsylvania. He attended the common schools until he was fourteen years of age, then entered Washington and Jefferson colleges, from which time-honored institution he was graduated on the twenty-second of June, 1881, and received the degree of A. M. in 1884. Having acquired a thorough education he turned his attention to medicine as his chosen vocation of life. In order to have the advantages of European medical science he entered in July, 1881, the medical department of the world-renowned University of Leipzig (English, Leipsic) Germany, where he studied for two years. He then returned to America and attended Jefferson Medical college of Philadelphia, from which celebrated institution he was graduated in the class of 1884. After his graduation in Philadelphia he practiced for one year in that city and then removed to the anthracite coal regions of Pennsylvania, where he located at Trevorton and obtained a good practice. In August, 1887, he left Trevorton and moved to Scottdale, where he then engaged in the active practice of his chosen profession.
