General Notes: Husband - Marcus Hotchkiss

---

Early he entered Allegheny College, there pursued with great industry a thorough course of studies and in 1858 graduated with the highest honors of his class. Having completed his collegiate course he entered the office of H. L. Richmond, in Meadville, Pennsylvania, as a student of law. In the prosecution of his legal studies he was a close and thorough student, and in August, 1860, was admitted to the bar. The whole country was at that time involved in the great political struggle which elevated Lincoln to the Presidency. Marcus was a Republican from conviction, and soon became one of the most popular canvassers of the campaign, but consumption was creeping upon him and compelled him to sever from ties and turn his face toward the setting sun. He was stricken down at Ft. Kearney, Nebraska Territory, and died of hemorrhage of the lungs.
