General Notes: Husband - Dr. Walter Lowrie Whann

---

He was born and reared to adult age in Mineral township, Venango county, PA. In the summer of 1841 he entered New Hagertown Academy, Carroll county, OH, and in the following year became a student at the Franklin College, New Athens, OH, completing a literary course in June, 1847, after which he immediately began the study of medicine. In 1849-50 he attended a course of lectures at Starling Medical College, Columbus, OH, and in 1850 began the practice of medicine at Clintonville. He attended a second course of lectures at Starling Medical College in 1855-56. During the civil war he was appointed surgical director for the district in which this county is situated. In 1867-68 he took a special course at Jefferson Medical Col­lege, Philadelphia, from which he graduated in 1868. He located at Franklin the same year, and engaged in the active duties of his profession. He was a member of the county, state, and national medical associa­tions, and had an abiding confidence in the regular system of medicine, be­lieving that all outside of that school tends to retard the progress of medi­cal science. The doctor was a Republican in politics, and represented Venango county in the legislature in 1866-67. [HVC 1890, 197]
