General Notes: Husband - Dr. James Henderson Duff


He attended school near his father's home, and finished his preparatory education under various private instructors, his brother, Rev. John Duff, one of the founders of West-minster College, being among the number. After the completion of his medical studies at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1848, he passed an examination for the United States navy, and began the practice of his profession at his native home, where he at once entered upon a large practice. He removed to Pittsburgh, South Side, in 1866, where he very soon acquired a large and lucrative practice, and took a front rank among her leading physicians. He was a strong abolitionist, and was among the first to offer his services to the government in the Civil War. He served for a time in the hospitals about Washington, and afterward organized a company of emergency men, which he refused to leave for the colonelcy of a regiment, which was offered him. He was a man of large build and com-manding appearance, modest and unassum-ing, of sound, deliberative judgment, and quiet but forcible dignity. He was the friend of all who knew him, and his professional skill, as well as his purse, were always ready to meet the case of the needy.
