General Notes: Husband - Dr. Thomas Howard Wilson, M.D.

---

He was reared in the town of Lewisburg, PA. After attending the local schools for a time he studied in the academy at Danville, PA, and later in the Lewisburg Academy. He then clerked in his father's store until, having deter­mined upon the medical profession as his life-work, he began preparations for same under a preceptor. In 1844 he was graduated from the Medical Department of the University of Penn­sylvania, and at once entered upon professional work at Lewisburg, where he gained a large practice.

For many years during his active career the demands of his professional work kept him busy night and day, and Mrs. Wilson was his constant compan­ion, sharing his long and tedious journeys, driv­ing the team while he slept, and then, on reach­ing the home of some patient, would snatch a brief interval of sleep for herself while he made his visit. To heal the sick, to cheer the miser­able, became their life work, while the poor who could pay no fees were treated as carefully as the rich. Hand in hand they followed the voice of duty, and in that loving union what might have been drudgery became unceasing joy.
