General Notes: Husband - Dr. Edgar C. Parsons
He was born at Alexandria, Ohio, where he received his preliminary education in the public schools, later graduating from the Johnstown (Ohio) Academy. Thereafter he was engaged for two winters in teaching, and in 1868 went to Knoxville, Iowa, teaching for several terms in the schools of Marion and Mahaska counties. In 1870 he accepted the charge of the intermediate department and later that of the grammar school at Knoxville, filling these positions until June, 1873. Imparting instruction was not, however, despite his manifest fitness for it, regarded by Dr. Parsons as his life-work. His inclinations led him to another field, so about 1871 he took up the study of medicine under the guidance of Dr. A. B. Wilder, and in the autumn of 1873 attended lectures at the Hahnemann Medical College, Chicago. After completing the regular course he began practice at Rantoul, Illinois. In the autumn of 1876 he entered Hahnemann College, Philadelphia, graduating March 8, 1877. He then established himself at Meadville, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, where, during the remainder of his life, a period of more than a third of a century, he was continuously engaged in active practice. Profound and comprehensive knowledge, an unusual degree of skill and tireless devotion to duty combined to insure his rapid advancement to a leading place among the members of his profession not only in his home city but throughout the western part of Pennsylvania. In 1883 he was appointed health officer of Meadville, serving two terms. He was instrumental in organizing the Crawford County Homoeopathic Medical Society in which he held the office of secretary, and he also belonged to the Homoeopathic Medical Society of Pennsylvania. He affiliated with the Masonic bodies at Meadville and he and his family were members of the Methodist Episcopal church. [GPHWP, 1306]
