General Notes: Husband - Dr. Orrin O. Bashline, D.O., F.A.C.O.S.

---

He was reared in Lamartine, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, attended school there, and was graduated in 1902 from the Clarion State Teachers College. For three years before completing his college course, he taught in the public schools, and for two years after graduation was high school principal. He entered the Kirksville College of Osteopathy and Surgery at Kirksville, Missouri, where he took his de­gree of Doctor of Osteopathy in 1907. After interneship in the Kirksville Hospital, he later located in Grove City and established a practice which grew with the years. He and Dr. Rossman organized the Osteopathic Hospital in 1915, which they operated as partners. Both Dr. Bashline, his wife, and entire family were members of the Methodist Church.

He assumed charge of the surgical depart­ment of the Philadelphia Osteopathic College and Hos­pital from 1916 to 1921, returning to Grove City for the summer and on frequent occasions during the college year for surgical operations. He resigned the position in 1921 to give his entire time to his professional career in Grove City.
He studied at various times in surgical clinics and took postgraduate courses in the United States, Ger­many, Vienna, Austria and Switzerland.
He was a member of the American Osteopathic Associa­tion, Pennsylvania Osteopathic Association, American College of Osteopathic Surgeons, and president of the American College of Osteopathic Surgeons.
He was interested in Boy Scout activities, a member of the Mercer County Council, and member of the Kiwanis Club and the Chamber of Commerce. He was elected to the board of directors of the First National Bank in 1936.
He was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, his great-grandfather being Christian Wen­ner, who was an officer in the Revolutionary War. His wife was a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution through the ancestry of Captain Paul Neely.
Dr. Bashline was always a staunch supporter of true Americanism, and the Prohibition and Republican parties. He was quite active against all New Deal or Communistic idealogies which he felt were not American.
