General Notes: Husband - Isaac Newkirk Leyda, M.D.

---

He was fitted for college at Messinger's academy and entered the Junior class at Washington and Jefferson college in 1869. After finishing his collegiate course he read medicine with his brother, Dr. J. H. Leyda of Allegheny City, attended lectures at the University of Pennsylvania, from which he was graduated in the class of 1875. During the summer of 1875 he located at Fayette City, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, where he practiced successfully for five years. In 1880 Dr. Leyda moved to Manor and became a prominent, active and leading physician in that part of the county. He had a large and well-selected medical library and enjoyed a lucrative practice.
He was a very good horseman and owned at different times some of the finest horses ever reared in or brought to Westmoreland County. In political matters he was a republican and gave his vote and influence in favor of the measures of that party. He is a member of the Presbyterian church, and most of the various lodges.
