General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Henry Gamble, M.D.

---

He was reared in his native county, and at the common schools of the neighborhood of his boyhood home received a liberal education. At the age of seventeen he enlisted in Company G, Twenty-second Pennsylvania Cavalry, which was assigned to the army of West Virginia, participating the Shenandoah campaign, and during the lat­ter part of their service they were with Sheridan. At the close of the war he received an honorable discharge and returned home. Later he entered the academy at Monongahela, where he remained some time, then attended the Normal School at Edinboro, Erie County, and, after­ward the Northwestern University at Evanston, Illinois. Having now completed his education, in turn he became an educator, and for some time taught school in various parts of the States of Illinois and Kansas. In 1870 he entered the office of James C. Gamble, M. D., in Lawrence, Kansas, where he remained some three years, reading med­icine, at the end of which time he attended the Homeopathic Medical College, of Missouri, in St. Louis, from which he was graduated in 1874. Dr. Gamble commenced the practice of his chosen pro­fession at Lawrence, Kansas, remaining there one year, after which he practiced a year in Wilkinsburg, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and then in 1876 came to Monongahela.
He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian Church; in politics he was an active Republican, and was nominated for Congress by the Prohibi­tion party in 1888. In that year he was appointed supreme medical examiner of the Equitable Aid Union, and he held various local offices of trust. In 1886 he erected Gamble's Opera House. He was one of the leading educators of the county, and takes advanced ground on all educational questions. [CBRWC, 1426]
