General Notes: Husband - Dr. William Denney, M.D.

---

He received his primary education in and near his native village. In the autumn of 1864 he went to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, where he studied for four years in Mt. Pleasant Seminary, under the direction of his uncle, Rev. E. L. Belden, who was principal of that institution. He then entered the Wesleyan University of Iowa, where he studied for about two years. In 1870 he returned to his native town of Jefferson, Pennsylvania, and engaged in school teaching, which vocation he followed in different parts of Greene County until 1876. He then entered regularly upon his medical studies which he had been pursuing during vacations while teaching, in the office of his uncle, Dr. B. W. Denney, of Garard's Fort, Greene County. He afterward entered Miami Medical College, Cincinnati, Ohio, in which he took the progressive course, and from which he graduated in the spring of 1879. In June of that year he established himself in Claysville, Pennsylvania, where he remained until December 1, 1891, when he moved to Washington, Pennsylvania, and continued in the active practice of his profession.
Politically Dr. Denney was a Republican, and held various offices of trust. He served as supervisor in the Eleventh Pennsylvania District, in connection with the eleventh decennial census of the counties of Washington, Greene, Fayette, Beaver and Somerset. He was a member of the Americus Club of Pittsburgh, and in religious faith was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Washington, Pennsylvania. Dr. Denney was prominently identified with the Masonic fraternity, being a member of the lodge, chapter and commandery at Washington, and a member of Syria Temple, Pittsburgh.
