General Notes: Husband - Dr. E. J. Deshler
His early education was obtained in the schools of his native county, and he was a young man at the time of the removal to Milton, Pennsylvania. He attended Marshall College before its consolidation with Franklin College, at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and at one time thought of studying for the ministry, but concluded to enter the medical profession. His brother-in-law, Dr. Martin, was his first preceptor, and he also studied in the office of Dr. Charles Dougal, of Milton, before beginning his course in the Pennsylvania Medical College at Philadelphia, where he graduated in 1853. For a few months he located at Buffalo Cross Roads, Pennsylvania, and then moved to Turbutville, where he continued to practice until 1858, when he settled permanently in Aaronsburg.
As a practitioner he was very successful, keeping well abreast of the advance of modern science by his extensive reading. Unassuming in manner, he never indulged in self-praise, but his innate worth and thorough intellectual training were readily recognized among the best people. He possessed a knowledge of surveying, and at one time was elected without any effort on his part to the office of county surveyor. For five years he served as justice of the peace, having been chosen to that position without his solicitation. He was a stanch Democrat, an active member of the Masonic order, and at the time of his death was trustee about twenty years, of the Reformed Church. He joined the Church when a young man, and was among its foremost workers, donating toward it liberally both of time and money. He was a leader in the Sabbath-school up to within some fourteen years prior to his death, when owing to impaired health he was obliged to give way to younger people, although he never missed attending divine service, even to the last Sabbath before his death, he dying suddenly of heart disease.
