General Notes: Husband - Dr. Norman King Beals

---

Country schools in Richland Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, provided his early formal education, and he then became a student at Emlenton High School, in Emlenton. Afterward he studied at Allegheny College, in Meadville, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in 1929. He took his medical work at Temple University, Philadelphia, and there was gradu­ated as a Doctor of Medicine in 1933. He had his interneship in five hospitals in New England: Memorial Hos­pital, Pawtucket, Rhode Island, for one year; Chapin Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island, six months; Taunton State Hospital, Taunton, Massachusetts, one year; Truesdale Hospital, Fall River, Massachusetts, six months; and Boston City Hospital, Boston, Massachusetts, one year. In 1934 he took the State Board examina­tion in Rhode Island, taking similar examinations in 1935 with the National Medical Board and in 1936 from the boards in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. Passing these examinations has enabled him to practice medicine in the forty-eight states. It was in 1936 that he started his professional practice in Franklin, where he proceeded to build up a lucrative practice. Eventually he specialized more and more in surgical cases.
In addition to his private practice, he was a mem­ber of the staff of Franklin Hospital and of the State Clinic in Oil City. He served as medical director of Venango County and as medical director of Grand View Sanitarium in Oil City. He was a member of the Venango County Medical Society, the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and the American Medical Association and a junior candidate for the American College of Sur­geons. In the county society he was active on various com­mittees and was chairman of the child health committee. Recognized as one of Franklin's successful younger phy­sicians, he built up a substantial clientele and was widely and favorably known in his community. He took a particularly active role in its civic and social life as a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and other organized groups, and was a charter member of the Phi Rho Sigma society of Temple University and the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at Allegheny College.
