General Notes: Husband - Dr. Alexander Johnston

---

He was educated for the medical profession at the Pennsylvania Medical College, Philadelphia, following which he entered upon active practice at Hollidaysburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania. Later on in life, he moved to Armagh, Indiana County, becoming largely interested in the furnace north of Armagh, near Blacklick creek. His death occurred at Armagh, where he was as popular as he had been in his old home in Blair County, although he practiced but little after coming to Indiana County. Dr. Johnston was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church of Altoona.
