General Notes: Husband - James Doddridge Chadwick

---

He was reared in Rockland Township, Venango County, and received an excellent education, preparing for college at private school, and taking a course at Allegheny College, Meadville, Pa., where he was a classmate of William McKinley, later president of the United States. He was in his senior year when the Civil war broke out, and did not remain to graduate, enlisting in April, 1861, in Company I, 10th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. He served as orderly under Gen. E. O. C. Ord, and was promised a captain's commission for valuable services, but he was taken ill with typhoid fever and sent to hospital at Washington, D. C., where he was honorably discharged as soon as convalescent, June 11, 1864. For a short time afterward he was engaged as a government clerk at Chattanooga, Tenn., returning thence to Pennsylvania and in 1865 beginning the study of law at Franklin in the office of Myers and Kinnear. He was admitted to the bar of Venango County in 1867, and from that time to the close of his life was successfully engaged in practice. He took a keen interest in the general welfare, and though not ambitious for the powers of office accepted some public responsibilities as part of his duties of citizenship, discharging all their obligations faithfully. He was a member of the school board for sixteen years, and never lost his interest in the question of providing public educational facilities. He also served several years as United States commissioner. For one year he served as secretary of the Franklin Association, and he was prominent in the G. A. R., holding the po­sition of adjutant for several years in W. B. Mays Post, No. 220, and acting as aid (with the rank of colonel) on the staff of General Palmer when the latter was commander in chief of the National G. A. R. He was a Republican in political conviction, a Methodist in his religious belief, and stood high in the regard of his associates in every relation of life. His professional clients were from the most substantial element in the community, and their confidence was in itself strong testimony as to his high character. If he had a hobby, it was botany, in which he became well versed, ferns of all kinds being one of his various objects of study. While serving in the Civil war he became very familiar with the flora of the South, and during that time he made an interesting series of outline sketches of oak leaves, which he brought home for comparison with the leaves of Northern oaks.
