General Notes: Husband - Dr. Amos Lusk, M.D.
He was born at Harmony, Butler County, Pennsylvania, but spent most of his boyhood days in Mercer County. He was educated in the schools of Mercer and New Brighton, read medicine with his father, and began practice in 1849. He attended lectures at the Medical Department of the Western Reserve Medical College, Cleveland, Ohio, where he was graduated in 1854. In 1853 he was appointed surgeon at the United States Marine Hospital, Pittsburgh, which position he held for four years. In 1857 he removed to Canton, Missouri, where he practiced his profes-sion until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when the disorganized state of society in Missouri caused him to return to Butler County, and, in 1861, he located in Zelienople, where he continued to practice medicine for over thirty years. Throughout his long and varied career, he enjoyed the fullest confidence of the public, and built up through the passing years a large and lucrative practice. In 1883 he and his son, Amos M., purchased the bank established by Nicholas Dambach, and the banking house of Amos Lusk & Son proved a financial success. Dr. Lusk was an excellent financier, and with the assistance of his son he built up a solid and substantial business. After his death his son sold an interest in the bank to John A. Gelbach, and subsequently sold the remaining interest to the latter's brother, and the firm then became Gelbach Brothers. Dr. Lusk was a celebrated linguist, was master of twelve languages, and spoke fluently, Greek, Latin, Spanish, Hebrew, French, German, Italian, English and other tongues, and had studied in all twenty-five different languages. He was perhaps the most proficient linguist in the State, was a gentleman of fine classical taste, and devoted his leisure moments to the perusal of the choicest literature. He was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church of Zelienople, and for many years had rendered professional services gratuitously to the Orphan's Home near that borough. He died very suddenly, while on his way to attend a patient. In politics, he was a Republican, but took little interest in political affairs. He was a pioneer member of Harmony lodge, F. & A. M., and was buried by the Masonic order. [HBC 1895, 1083]
