General Notes: Husband - Dr. David Miller Anderson

---

In the early gold excitement in California he accompanied his father to that state, going from there to South America. He remained there two years and commenced the study of medicine during his stay in that country. He returned to Pennsylvania about the time that Fort Sumter was attacked, and entered the Western army in the capacity of surgeon. He remained in the service until the close of the war, when he went to New York City and graduated from Bellevue Medical College. He came to Peters township, Washington County, married and commenced the practice of medicine there. He was also extensively interested in coal operations, his mines lying along the line of the Pittsburgh Southern Railroad.

He was a prominent man in the county, a member of the legislature three terms, and large real estate owner.
