General Notes: Husband - Dr. Benjamin Rush Senseny

---

after receiving a classical education, read medicine with his father. He could not regard with apathy and indifference the gigantic rebellion that was threatening the life of the Republic, and, although not quite twenty years old, he presented himself before a board of army surgeons in Philadelphia in 1863, and having passed a satisfactory examination, was accepted and ordered to Cherry Hill Hospital, Philadelphia, where he remained a short time, when he was transferred to Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. In the spring of 1863 he was assigned to a hospital in the city of St. Louis. During his residence there he attended lectures at Pope's Medical College, and received his diploma from that institution in 1864. After his graduation he was transferred to a hospital in Chambersburg, at which post he remained until the end of the war.
He was endowed with a brilliant mind, which was polished by extensive reading, by travel and by close and intelligent observation of men and affairs. This made him a forcible and perspicuous writer, not only in his profession, but also on subjects of public interest and concern. He died, after a long illness, aged thirty-seven years. His widow and daughter survived him.
