General Notes: Husband - Dr. Cyrus Alexander McCaskey

---

He received a common school and academic education. At seventeen years of age he commenced reading medicine with Dr. J. M. Scott, of Butler County, Pennsylvania, and in 1873 entered the University of Wooster, Ohio, and was gradu­ated from the Medical department of that insti­tution in the class of 1876. After graduating he located in Petersville where he remained two years, then left Butler County and was at Millerstown, in the oil regions of Pennsylvania, for ten years. In 1886 he removed to Pittsburgh where he practiced for two years and on December 15, 1888, he came to Bolivar where he remained in the active and successful practice of his profession. He was a republican in politics. He was a member of a Lodge, of the I. O. O. F., Lodge, No. 457, K. of P. and the Presbyterian church.

He was one of the first physicians to go to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, after the great flood at that place and was given entire control of the drug department as soon as the state assumed charge of the place. He also acted as assistant sur­geon of Bedford street hospital and was ap­pointed surgeon to the tenth regiment National Guards of Pennsylvania.
