General Notes: Husband - John A. Smith, M.D.

---

Having received a rudimentary education in the common schools of his native place, he attended and graduated from the State Normal School of Youngstown, Ohio. He also received a diploma from the college at New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. After a year's study under the direction of Dr. Silas Stevenson, later of Ellwood City, he entered the Medical Department of Hudson College of Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated from that institution in 1881, among the first in his class. While a student in Hudson College, his preceptor was Dr. Proctor Thayer. He then opened up an office for the practice of his profession at East Brook, Pennsylvania, where he remained four years. On account of ill health he gave up his practice there and went to Ashland, Ohio, where he lived until 1886. In that year he returned to Pennsylvania and located in New Castle, where he built up a large and flourishing practice. His practice was not confined to his immediate vicinity, but was general, and extended over a great part of Lawrence County. He was a Republican politically, and as a successful candidate on that party's county ticket held the office of coroner three years. He was a member of the Lawrence County Medical Society.
