General Notes: Husband - Dr. John McCormick
He was brought up in the Ligonier valley, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and his schooling was in West Fairfield and in Irwin. He taught several terms in North Huntingdon township, and meanwhile studied mathematics and Latin with his father. He was unusually quick at learning, and with the preparation that he had made was ready to enter Medical College at Cleveland, from which he was graduated as M. D. in 1882. He practiced for a little while at Irwin and then removed to United, where he enjoyed a very large practice until his removal to Greensburg in 1888. From that date until his untimely death he was recognized as one of the leading physicians of Greensburg, his practice always being very large and extending into districts remote from his home. Less scholarly than his father, he was perhaps better adapted to the career of physician than he, and gave himself absolutely to the practice of his profession. In the twenty-three years of his practice he was absent for more than a day at a time only three times, and his total vacation did not perhaps exceed a single month. His kindness of heart, his skill in his profession, his undoubted wisdom, his unwearied effort in behalf of his patrons, his sincerity and integrity, his willingness to devote his strength to the service of the people whether he received compensation for it or not, so endeared him to the people of his community that he was mourned by thousands when he was cut off in the midst of his usefulness. Only occasionally is it given to any one so universally to win the affection and regard of an entire community. Some years ago in a surgical case he contracted blood poisoning and this, as was ascertained after his death, was the cause of his premature passing away. Like his father before him he was appointed United States examining surgeon for pensions, continuing in this until the day of his death.
