General Notes: Husband - Frederick Betts Read, M.D.

---

He was reared on the home farm, and he obtained his elementary education in the common schools of the neighborhood, later taking a course at the old academy in Clearfield. At the age of eighteen years he began teaching in Lawrence township, and taught for five terms in that and Pike townships. Subsequently he began the study of medicine under the direction of Dr. M. Woods, of Clearfield, and in 1864 entered Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, where he graduated three years later. Previous to his graduation, however, in 1865, he had entered upon the practice of his profession at Grahamton, and later opened an office in Bigler, both in Clearfield County; but after 1879 he was one of the leading and representative physicians of Osceola Mills, and was a member of the Clearfield County Medical Society; the State Medical Society and the American Medical Society.
He gave his political support to the Democratic party, and was called upon to serve in a number of official positions, being president of the board of health, a member of the school board ten years, burgess two years, and overseer of the poor two years. Socially, he was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen.
