General Notes: Husband - Dr. Robert G. Boak


He obtained an elementary education in the district schools of his immediate neighborhood, and in the State Normal School of Edinboro, Pennsylvania. After having advanced thus far, he taught school for seven years, during which time for the space of one year he read medicine under the direction of Dr. Charles Hunt of Princeton, Pennsylvania. He then entered the Baltimore Medical College of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1893, and after one year changed his location, becoming a medical student in the medical department of the Western University of Pittsburgh, from which he graduated in 1897. Having determined beforehand on East Brook as a suitable location, he at once opened an office in the village, and entered into the active practice of his profession. He obtained in a short time the goodwill and patronage of the people of East Brook and its vicinity, who regard him as a well-read, enterprising member of the medical profession, who had at his command the latest methods in the treatment of diseases, and the requisite knowledge and ability to use them successfully.
His family identified with the Presbyterian Church.
