General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Henry Fager
He received careful training and a good education; read medicine with Dr. Martin Luther, one of the more prominent of the early physicians at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and attended medical lectures at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1829, he began the practice of his profession at Harrisburg, which he continued until his death, a period of forty-three years. In 1840, his attention being called to homoeopathy, he commenced the study of that theory, and afterwards adopted it in his practice. He was quite a successful physician, and enjoyed the confidence of the community. Apart from his professional life, Dr. Fager was a valued citizen. For thirty-three years he was a member of the school-board, during most of which period he was secretary or treasurer; for several terms a member of the borough council, and for fifty years an active worker in the Sunday school of the First Lutheran church.
