General Notes: Husband - Dr. Finley B. Winnett, M.D.

---

He received his rudimentary education at the academy at Hoges Summit, Pennsylvania. In 1867 he commenced to read medicine with Dr. David Shanor, of Beallsville, Pennsylvania. After two years he commenced a course of study in Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, which was followed by a course at Long Island College, Brooklyn, New York, where he graduated in the class of 1870. The Doctor then commenced the practice of his profession at Scenery Hill, a town situated on the National pike, some twelve miles from the borough of Washington, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Here he remained eight years, when, his health having become impaired, he moved to Nebraska, where he received the appointment of assistant surgeon for the U. P. P. R. R. Company, a position he held during his sojourn in that state. He was also for some time pension examining agent for the U. S. Government. In 1884 he was nominated for the Legislature to represent the counties of Cheyenne, Sioux and Keith, coming within seventeen votes of being elected. In 1875 Dr. Winnett received the "adeundem medicine degree" from Cleveland Medical College. In 1885 he returned to Washington County, to the vicinity of his former home, continuing his practice until 1889, when he moved into the borough of Washington. His ride was a very extensive one, and his practice one of the largest in the county, all his old patients remaining with him.
He was a member of the Lutheran Church, and of the I. O. O. F., and vice-president of the U. S. Excelsior Building & Loan Association of Washington.
