General Notes: Husband - Dr. Thomas Greer McPherson

---

He attended the public schools of the locality and completed his general education at Mt. Union College, from which, however, he never obtained a degree, leaving that institution after three years' attendance to begin the study of medicine. His preceptor was Dr. Robert McCready, of Sewickley, and under his able and interested instruction Mr. McPherson studied for four years. The field of his first practice was Eynon Valley, where he continued for three years, gaining experience in the many phases of his profession. At the expiration of that time he moved to what was then Patterson township, later Beaver Falls, and continued his practice there. Patterson township was then but sparsely inhabited. His practice there continued for thirty-three years, and embraced a record of faithful service, often with neither expectation or hope of remuneration. In that length of time it was his privilege and pleasure to lessen the pain of many an invalid, to restore to some the use of members long despaired of, and in short, to introduce much of light and cheer and happiness where, without the blessing of his healing touch, naught but despair and misery and darkness could reign. After thirty-six years as a physician, Dr. McPherson retired and lived with his son, Frank, at the latter's home on the corner of Sixth avenue and Ninth street. He devoted nearly all his time to scholarly pursuits, being a tireless reader and a versatile writer in both prose and verse.
Dr. McPherson was a lifelong Republican, and for many years affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal Church. He also held membership in the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Good Templars, and the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
