General Notes: Husband - Dr. Samuel Murdoch, M.D.

---

He was a graduate of Dickinson College, Pennsylvania. He studied theology under the direction of Rev. John Anderson, D.D., of the Associate Presbyterian (later the United Presbyterian) Church, and was the contemporary of Rev. Thomas Allison, Rev. Dr. Ramsay, and others. His voice failing him, he turned his attention to the study of medicine, and having fitted himself for that profession he was soon engaged in a large and successful practice in the borough of Canonsburg. In the year 1817 he removed to Washington, Pennsylvania, and continued in active practice until about the year 1830, when he was admonished by advancing years that rest and relaxation had become necessary. He then established a drug-store in the building where he resided, and which he erected on a lot later occupied by S. M. Templeton as a drugstore on Main Street.
