General Notes: Husband - C. P. Paxton, M.D.

---

He was born near McConnell's Mill, not far from Canonsburg, Washington County, Pennsylvania. When he was eight years old, his father died. After his mother remarried, the family went to live at Eldersville and there he attended school and afterward taught six terms of school, five of these in Washington County and one in Allegheny County. This was before he entered upon the study of medicine, which he pursued for several years and was then graduated from the medical department of the Western University of Pennsylvania, in the class of 1905. He came then to California, Pennsylvania, and built up a good practice. He became professionally associated with his step-father, and was located in the First National Bank building.
He attended the Cumberland Presbyterian Church but was affiliated with the United Presbyterian. He was identified with the Masonic fraternity.
