General Notes: Husband - Hon. John Bayard McPherson
He received his early education in the private school of Professor Jacob F. Seiler, at the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Academy, and in the public schools of Sidney, Ohio, where he resided from 1858 to 1862. He entered Princeton College in August, 1862, from which institution he graduated in 1866. He studied law with John Hanna Briggs in Harrisburg, and with Scammon, McCagg & Fuller in Chicago, and was admitted to the Dauphin County bar in January, 1870. He was elected district attorney in 1874, and served during the years 1875, '76, '77. A portion of the time he was in law partnership with Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, and afterwards with Lyman D. Gilbert. In February, 1882, he was appointed by Governor Hoyt to fill a vacancy in the office of additional law judge of the Twelfth Judicial District, caused by the resignation of Judge Henderson, and the consequent promotion of Judge Simonton to the president judgeship, and in November, 1882, he was elected without opposition to the same place.
