General Notes: Husband - Dr. Alexander McCandless Reid


He was educated in the public schools of Rochester, Beaver County, PA, and attended Bethany College, West Virginia, and after deciding upon the medical profes­sion as his life work was matriculated as a student in the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, in the medical department of which admirable institution he was graduated as a member of the class of 1878, with first honors, duly receiving his degree of Doctor of Medi­cine. He entered upon the active practice of his profession at Clarion, Pennsylvania, and in that city resided until his demise. For several years he was jail physician in Clarion and he was sec­retary of the county board of pension exam­iners. In connection with his professional work he was a member of the Clarion County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Med­ical Society and the American Medical Asso­ciation. His recognized skill as a physician and surgeon brought him a large and lucra­tive practice in Clarion county, where he was held in high esteem by all who knew him. In life he was an unassuming man. He gave largely to public affairs. To everything that had a tendency to help along benevolent or philanthropic enterprises he ably and willingly contributed. In politics he was a Republican, and his religious faith was in accordance with the teachings of the Presbyterian church.
