General Notes: Husband - Dr. Charles Coburn
Having prepared for his profession during his early years, he located at Aaronsburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania, in 1814, where he continued to practice successfully for many years. He was a man of fine intellect, and advanced ideas, a thorough "Yankee," jovial, good-natured, outspoken yet dignified, and was rarely gifted as an agreeable and entertaining conversationalist. Politically, he was an active, earnest and influential Whig, afterward a Republican. His nature was deeply and sincerely religious; from his youth he was a sincere and earnest member of the Presbyterian Church, and during his early life, when the locality in which he resided was comparatively a wilderness, he carried with him and distributed the Bible while making professional calls among his people without cost to those unable or too poor to pay. He organized the first Sunday-school in Aaronsburg, where he resided, and was largely instrumental with others in founding the Presbyterian Church there, and at Spring Mills, seven miles west of his home, in Penn's Valley, in which he held the office of elder for many years until his death.
