General Notes: Husband - Dr. Benjamin Rush Kohler

---

He was educated in the public schools and at the academy in Ghent, Kentucky, where he prepared for college. He accompanied the family to Utah, reading medicine under his father for two years. He entered the medical department of Western Reserve University, at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1883, whence he was graduated M. D., February 25, 1885. He then returned to his native town, and there began the general practice of his profession. As the years passed Dr. Kohler grew with his practice, taking front rank among the leaders of his profession. Ever the student, he kept pace with all modern discoveries and through his many articles in the medical journals greatly aided the advance of medical science. He was a censor of the Medico-Chirurgical College, elected by the trustees of that institution May 30, 1896. His specialty was diseases of children, and on this branch of medical practice he wrote many articles for professional journals, and made the object of special study and investigation. He was a member of the hospital staff of the township poor farm; member of the American Medical Association and of the state and county medical societies, he also belonged to the Masonic fraternity, Lewistown Lodge, No. 203. The family were all members of the Presbyterian church.
