General Notes: Husband - George S. Frank, M.D.
He was born in Rebersburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania, where he received an elementary education in the district schools, Hon. Henry Meyer being his first teacher. Later he attended the normal schools of the locality and, with private instruction in science and the languages, he prepared for teaching. At eighteen he took charge of a school, and after three years as a successful teacher in his native township he began the study of medicine with Dr. Daniel J. Hilbish, a noted practitioner of Rebersburg. His preliminary reading finished, he took a course in the Jefferson Medical College, graduating in 1883. His first professional work was at Spring Mills, but after a short time he located at Rebersburg, where he remained until 1886. He then settled permanently in Millheim, and now enjoyed a large and constantly increasing practice, the territory covered being probably as large as that of any practitioner in the county and not excepting the oldest. He kept well informed on the various lines of professional progress and was identified with leading medical associations, being a member of the Centre County Medical Society; Pennsylvania Medical Society; West Branch Medical Society; and the American Medical Association.
He served on the village council of Millheim and the school board. He was also coroner of Centre County; but while he was an enthusiastic supporter of the Democratic party, he did not aim at political distinction. He was a charter member of the Knights of the Golden Eagle at Millheim, and he and his wife were leading members of the Lutheran Church, to which they contributed liberally, not only in money but in time and in strength, the Doctor being an elder in the Church and superintendent of the Sunday-school.
