General Notes: Husband - Rev. Joseph Waugh

---

He was born in Brooke County, Virginia, and received his education in the common schools, West Alexander Academy (under Dr. John McCluskey), Washington College, and the Western Theological Seminary. He graduated with honor from college in 1857, and from the Theological seminary in 1860; was licensed to preach by the Washington Presbytery in 1859, and ordained by the Presbytery of Mississippi in 1860. For one year, until the outbreak of the Civil war, he preached near Natchez, Mississippi. His decided Union sentiments brought him North. He then taught two years in Washington College, and two years in the Steubenville Seminary, after which he took charge of the Hollidaysburg Seminary, being its first principal. Here he continued eleven years, and, with the assistance of his devoted wife, made it one of the leading institutions of its class in Pennsylvania. On account of ill health he was forced to relinquish his educational work, and retired to a farm in Delaware, where for several years he was interested in fruit growing.
In 1889 he moved to Washington, Pennsylvania, and made it his home. He was treasurer of Washington and Jefferson College, did some insurance business, occasionally writing for the papers. He was an Independent in politics, and supported free trade.

General Notes: Wife - Arabella S. Todd

---

She was a lady of unusual intelli-gence and accomplishments, whose life was marked by a special spirit of self-sacrifice and devotion to duty. As vice-principal of the Hollidaysburg Seminary, she made many ardent friends. Fourteen years before her death she received injuries by be-ing thrown from a carriage. From these she never recovered, but bore her suffering with marked pa-tience and resignation, and continued her works of kindness and devotion to the very day of her death.

The same source, in another place, [CBRWC, 223] states that her husband was Rev. Joseph Waugh, apparently confusing the two brothers.
