General Notes: Husband - Andrew McDowell, M.D.

---

He was graduated M. D. from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1787. He was for a brief period professor of Latin and Greek in the University, but soon after receiving his medical degree he settled at Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where he was in active and successful practice for more than forty years. He was physician to the Franklin County poor-house, 1815-18, and 1829-30. He was one of the founders of the first medical society in the county, organized in 1825. Admonished by advancing years he finally relinquished his practice, and made his home with his son, Dr. John McDowell, at Mercersburg.
