General Notes: Wife - Charity Jane Vincent

---

She graduated from Franklin College, classical course, in June, 1879. She studied medicine in the Women's Medical College of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from which she graduated, and at once entered upon the practice of her profession in the Hospital for Women and Children on Staten Island, New York. After practicing in the hospital for about a year she entered upon the general practice in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, December 1, 1882. She soon came into a large practice, and was greatly respected by the people and by the members of her profession. She was called to many of the best homes of Allegheny and Pittsburgh, and gave herself unsparingly to the pursuit of her profession. She was largely instrumental in the establishment and development of the United Presbyterian Orphans' Home of Allegheny, and of the United Presbyterian Hospital, later called the Columbian Hospital, of East End, Pittsburgh. To these she gave her time and toil and money almost without stint, and to the hospital gave her professional services without salary. She was also secretary of the Freedmen's Department of the Women's Board, which made large demands on her time and strength. Unconsciously to herself and friends the burden grew too heavy for her, and her life gave way under the strain. Suddenly, without warning, with scarcely an hour's sickness, the end came and called her away at midnight, January 7, 1902, only her friend, Miss Mahan, being with her when the summons came.
