General Notes: Husband - Dr. Daniel Dobbins

---

His father was a clergyman of the Covenanter Church, and emigrated from Ireland to America, locating in the Cumberland Valley near Gettysburg. Dr. Dobbins was an eminent physician and practitioner in Bellefonte for more than thirty-seven years, he received a classical education under the care and tuition of his father, who for a number of years was engaged in teaching, and by whom were educated many men who in after life became eminent in the different learned professions. The Doctor was a student of Dr. Church, of Philadelphia, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1807, when he came to Bellefonte and commenced the practice of medicine, which he continued with unremitting industry until the day of his death. He was a man of strong mind, sound judgment, an accurate and profound scholar, as skillful and eminent in his profession as any man in Pennsylvania, and a great excellence was that he never turned from his door, night or day, any one who needed medical aid. The humble child of poverty, the rich and the powerful, were all alike to him, all commanded his services and in any severity of weather. He died a martyr to his profession, universally regretted, esteemed and respected, and the citizens of Bellefonte claimed the privilege of being permitted to erect a monument to his memory.
