General Notes: Husband - Dr. Thomas Jefferson Grace

---

The successive steps in his education included common school courses, which he completed in 1882; a collegiate training in the institute at Grove City, from which he was graduated in 1886, and his medical curriculum which concluded in 1889, with his graduation from the medical department, University of Illinois. He established himself as a general practitioner, in Washington, District of Columbia, where he spent the first three years of his professional career, and in 1892 located at Clarks Mills to assume the practice relinquished by Dr. H. Jackson on account of ill health. Dr. Grace was thereafter a welcome fixture at that place, where he earned a fine reputation as a skillful and honorable physician and surgeon and as a representative citizen of the city and county. He was deeply interested in Odd Fellowship, being a member of Sheakleyville Lodge No. 592, and his church relations were with the Methodist church at Clarks Mills. [HMC 1909, 965]

On leaving the common schools he attended Sandy Lake High school, subsequently entered Grove City col­lege, from which he was graduated in the class of 1886. He began the study of medicine in the office of Dr. J. M. Martin at Grove City in 1886, took lectures at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Chicago, and commenced the practice of medicine at Greensburg on April 1, 1889. He was the medical examiner for the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and the benefit examiner for the New England Mutual Accident Association. [BHCWC 91]
