General Notes: Husband - Dr. Jacob Reigard


He prepared for his profession under the guidance of Dr. Bigelow, of Millheim, Pennsylvana, and began to practice when only nineteen years old, locating at Orangeville, Columbia County, Pennsylvania, where he met and married his wife. Notwithstanding the opposition of the older physicians, he succeeded, his skill in surgery enabling him to perform some operations with which the others were not familiar. Later he moved to Shirleysburg, where he remained many years, and then spent twelve years on a farm five miles from the city of Doyle's Ford. There malaria seized him, and after suffering from ague for eighteen months he sought a change of air at Woodward, remaining three years. In 1852 he and his wife removed to Freeport, Illinois, where they enjoyed the rewards of past labors. He amassed a considerable fortune through his practice and by judicious speculation, and at one time he owned the only gristmill at Freeport.
