General Notes: Husband - Dr. George W. Langfitt

---

His father was of the sterner type of the men of that day who believed that an education beyond the local public schools was a waste of both time and money. Dr. Langfitt, therefore was compelled to make his way through school entirely by his own efforts and industry and by so doing obtained his general college education at Mount Union College. At the early age of eighteen he taught school at Asheville, Ohio, were he accumulated sufficient funds to start him upon his course through medical school. He graduated from Rush Medical College, Chicago, Illinois, in the year 1866. Thereafter he was stationed with the medical corps of the army at Philadelphia where he obtained a wide experience both in the practice of medicine and general surgery.
Some years later he established as a medical practitioner in the borough of Bellevue, Pennsylvania, being the first physician there. He was highly successful in his practice, thereby accumulating a goodly estate. In the year 1873, seeing the need of a substantial business block in the borough, he had constructed the first brick business building which stood at the corner of Lincoln avenue and Jackson street.

He died when his youngest son was about four weeks old, and to Mrs. Langfitt is due the credit of rearing and educating her sons.
