General Notes: Husband - Dr. Lot R. Hensyl, M.D.

---

He remained under the parental roof until seventeen years of age, when he went to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and began clerking in the coal office of his uncle, Samuel H. Rothermel, where he remained for several months. Returning home, he worked for his father during the summer in a sawmill, while through the winter season he attended school until twenty years of age, thus acquiring a good literary education. He then began reading medicine with Dr. S. S. Smith, but on the outbreak of the Civil war laid aside his books and enlisted in Company D, 52nd P. V. I., under Capt. James Chamberlain. For over three years he fought for the preservation of the Union; he helped to storm all the forts in South Carolina; at Morris Island he was detailed as shipping clerk, and by special order was sent to Jacksonville, Florida, where he served in that capacity for three months. By order of Gen. Foster, he then returned to Morris Island, and was in the Ordnance Department until discharged in 1864. Returning home, he again resumed the study of medicine with Dr. C. P. Herington, of Ashland, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, with whom he remained for two and one-half years, and in 1866 and 1867 attended lectures at the Jefferson Medical College. On receiving his diploma Dr. Hensyl located at Howard, where he soon built up a large and flourishing practice.
Fraternally, Dr. Hensyl held membership in the I. O. O. F., and the G. A. R. and Veteran Legion, belonging to the local orders at Howard. His political support was given the Republican party.
