General Notes: Husband - Daniel Webster Thrush


He was a member of the bench and bar of Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and at one time was president of a college in the West.

He was reared on the old family homestead near Shippensburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. He attended the district schools and completed his education in Gettysburg College, graduating from the latter institution. It was his first intention to enter the Lutheran ministry, and his studies had been pursued to that end. In early life he was a teacher in the common schools, later becoming a college professor, and for a number of years he was principal of the Shippensburg Academy. As an instructor he met with remarkable success, not alone on account of his own wide learning, but because of his ability to impart it to others. Purchasing the Shippensburg News, he was its proprietor and editor for a number of years, in the meantime being admitted to the Cumberland County Bar. He practiced law from that time until his death, finding in the intricate legal tangles the mental pabulum for his exceeding energetic intellectuality. He was always a Republican, and was always interested in the cause of education. His religion, as may have been inferred, was that of the Lutheran faith, and he belonged to the church of that denomination in Shippensburg.
