General Notes: Husband - Dr. Samuel G. Lane

---

He received his education at the public schools of his native place, and at the Chambersburg Academy, under the tuition of William Van Lear Davis, Esq. At the end of his pupilage, he began the study of medicine with his father, and remained under his training until his graduation at the University of Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1849, at which time he submitted, as his inaugural thesis, an "Essay on the Causes which Influence the Period of Human Life." After a brief association with his uncle, Dr. Andrew Hetich (a brother of his mother), in Bucyrus, Ohio, he opened an office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He did not long remain in that city, being summoned to the bedside of his dying father. After the death of his father, in April, 1853, he was persuaded by the friends of his father to remain in Chambersburg. In 1854 he associated himself in the practice of medicine with his brother-in-law, Dr. James Hamilton, who was then located at Chambersburg. Later he was in association with a former pupil and friend, Dr. Charles F. Palmer. A few weeks after the battle of Bull Run he was appointed, by Gov. Curtin, surgeon, with the rank of major, and assigned to the celebrated Fifth Regiment of Pennsylvania Reserves. He served in the field with the Reserve Corps until near the close of their term of enlistment, when he accepted the once rejected promotion of Surgeon of the board of enrollment of the Sixteenth District of Pennsylvania. After a few months' service in this position he resigned, and was appointed by Gov. Curtin Assistant Surgeon-general of Pennsylvania, in which position he remained until after the war. In the burning of Chambersburg by the rebels, in July, 1864, all his property was swept away.
He was later a member of the board of Pension Examiners.
He was a Whig, and later a Republican, and a positive and uncompromising Lutheran.
