General Notes: Husband - Dr. Andrew Robert Elmer Wyant


He acquired the rudiments of an education at the old Ruffner school, and hard work on the farm gave him a stalwart physique and proportionate stamina. He entered Reid Institute in April, 1880 - while a student at Reidsburg he united with the Baptist Church, and was there licensed to preach. For four years he taught school, then returned to study at Bucknell Academy, from which he graduated in 1888. He entered Bucknell University in the autumn of 1888 and graduated with the highest honors in 1892, taking scholarship prizes in literature, mathematics, oratory, psychology and philosophy. He graduated from the Divinity School of the University of Chicago in 1895, with historical fellowship honors; received the degrees of master of arts and doctor of philosophy for post-graduate work. He was a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity; college tennis champion; played football for seven years against colleges from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and was the first captain of the University of Chicago team. He gave the commencement oration at Bucknell, 1917, choosing as his subject "Football and Preparedness." While at Bucknell and Chicago he was student pastor, and was pastor of the Morgan Park Baptist Church, Chicago, and continued for over ten years during which period he received into membership 594 persons and erected a new edifice; edited the "Baptist Record" and was author of "The English Reformation and Puritanism," based upon the lectures of his father-in-law, Dean Hulbert. Doctor Wyant went abroad in 1900 and witnessed the Passion Play. He gave more than 200 lectures on that religious drama. He belonged to the Masonic order. Doctor Wyant took the course in medicine at the Chicago College of Medicine and Surgery, graduating in 1908, and became well known and successful in his profession. His articles on Modern, Mental and Religious Cults attracted wide attention. He was a member of the American, Illinois and Chicago Medical Associations, Red Cross war physician; on Chicago hospital corps, and responded to calls for lectures and public addresses on religious and current subjects.
