General Notes: Husband - Thomas Chalmers Lawson, M.D.
He had the advantage of farm life during boyhood. At the breaking out of hostilities between the North and the South he was just eighteen years old, yet young as he was, he enlisted, and went to the front as a member of the 155th P. V. I. He remained in active service three years, taking part in all the many engagements in which his company participated, and, as color bearer for his regiment, was often where the bullets flew thickest. Fortunately he was neither wounded nor captured, and on receiving an honorable discharge he returned to his studies, attending school at Bells Mills, near Altoona, Pennsylvania. Later he pursued a course of study in medicine, graduating in 1871 from Jefferson College, Philadelphia. For some time he was engaged in his profession at Greenville, Clarion County; but after taking one year in post-graduate study at Philadelphia and New York City, he opened an office, in 1880, at Brookville, Jefferson County, where he soon established a large and lucrative practice.
In the Presbyterian Church, of which he and his wife were members, he held the office of ruling elder. At one time he was elected to the presidency of the Brookville Furniture Co. Socially he belonged to the Knights of Pythias, the G. A. R., and the Veteran Legion, and to the County and State Medical Societies. In politics he was a Democrat, and he served as chairman of the county committee and was otherwise active in his party's welfare.
