General Notes: Husband - David W. McConaughy, M.D.


He attended the public schools and Ligonier academy, after which he taught school for several terms. In 1856 he entered Jefferson Medical college at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from that institution in 1858. Beginning the practice of his chosen profession at Madison, Westmoreland County, he continued there until 1867 when he removed to Latrobe. He was a member and also treasurer of the Westmoreland county Medical society; the American Medical Association; the State Medical Society of Pennsylvania; was also a member of Loyalhanna Lodge, No. 275, F. & A. M., of Latrobe. Dr. McConaughy was an elder of the Presbyterian church and took a leading part in church work generally. In politics he was a zealous republican and did much effective work for his party. A strict party man, he believed in supporting the nominees and never voted anything but the republican ticket.

"Not only is Dr. McConaughy a skillful and successful physician and a conscientious Christian gentleman, social and agreeable by nature, but he is also a man of strict integrity and unusual intelligence; a logical thinker who is thoroughly conversant with the public questions and issues of the day; a diligent student of human nature; a close observer; a constant reader of general and scientific literature; a man of warm and generous emotions, whose ideas of justice and equity between man and man or between citizen and State approximate to those of the ideal citizen or subject of a free government, and whose religious, social and political opinions are practical, safe and conservative. Dr. McConaughy is a director and the vice-president of the 'Citizens' National bank of Latrobe.'"
