General Notes: Husband - Dr. Nelson Monroe Meals, M.D.

---

In Butler County, Pennsylvania, he began his education in the common schools, and after moving to Callensburg, at the age of eleven years, he attended the academy at that place. He early commenced reading medicine with his father as preceptor, and, in 1870, entered the Western Medical University of Ohio, at Cleveland, where he pursued his studies for one term. He then engaged in practice with his father until the school year of 1873-4, when he was again a student in that institution. After his graduation he enjoyed a liberal patronage.

He was born in Butler County, Pennsylvania. In January, 1859, he removed with his parents to Callensburg, Clarion County, where he was educated in the common schools, and in Western Reserve University, in the medical department of which he was graduated as a member of the class of 1874 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. After graduation he returned to his home state and settled in Callensburg, where he then resided and where he practiced medicine for more than a third of a century. He was associated with his father in medical work until the latter's death, in 1884, and after that time carried on an individual practice. He won recognition as one of the most skilled physicians and surgeons in Clarion county. He was a member of the Red Bank Physicians Protective Association, the Clarion County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. For many years he was a member of the Callensburg board of health, and he also served as health officer for district No. 363, including Licking and Perry townships and the borough of Callensburg. He first took that office in 1908. He was medical examiner for Licking township and for Callensburg, was on the school board for many years, and was secretary of the city council. Fraternally he was affiliated With the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and religiously he and his family were devout Methodists. [GPHAV, 278]
