General Notes: Husband - Arthur Van Eman Donaldson, M.D.

---

He received his preliminary education in the public schools of his birthplace and at Jefferson academy, after which he enrolled at Washington and Jefferson College. He prepared for his profession in the Medical School of the University of Pittsburgh and was graduated from that institution in 1911 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. During the following year he served his interneship in Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh. Thus equipped, he returned to Washington County and entered practice at Avella. Dr. Donaldson came to Canonsburg in 1917 and has since devoted himself without interruption to his professional duties in this community. His obvious qualifications and diligence in behalf of his patients led to many demands on his services and brought him the extensive general practice as a physician and surgeon which he now enjoys.
Dr. Donaldson is a member of the staff of the Canonsburg General Hospital, a member of the Washington County Medical Association, the Pennsylvania State Medical Association and the American Medical Association. During the World War, he served as a member of the draft board of the Second District of Washington County and as medical examiner on the board, continuing active in these connections until the close of the war. In 1924, at its organization, he became captain of Hospital Company H, of the 103d Medical Regiment, Pennsylvania National Guard.
In addition to his other connections, Dr. Donaldson is prominent in the Free and Accepted Masons, being affiliated in this order with Chartiers Lodge, No. 297, and with many higher bodies, including Pittsburgh Consistory, thirty-second degree, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and Syria Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He is a member and trustee of Chartiers Hill Presbyterian Church, one of the oldest congregations west of the Allegheny Mountains, and a member of the Yorick Club of Canonsburg and the Washington County Country Club. In politics he is a Republican. [ASWP, 292]
