General Notes: Husband - Dr. David J. Washabaugh, M.D.

---

He was seven years of age when his parents went to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and settled in Jackson township. Three years later, he began the battle of life, leaving home at that time and working for others, and despite many difficulties, he finally succeeded in securing a good education. In the month of June, 1863, he enlisted in Company F, Fifty-Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, and served in the Union cause for three months. After his return from the army, he worked and attended school alternately. He worked in the oil fields until he began teaching, which profession he followed three years. In 1871, he entered the drug business, at Grove City, selling out the same in 1873. He then took up his long cherished ambition of studying medicine, and was graduated in 1876, from Miami Medical College, at Cincinnati, Ohio. He then began practice at Anandale, Butler County, where he continued in the profession until 1892. In the autumn of that year, he located at Grove City, where he continued to practice. Dr. Washabaugh was a member of the County, State and other medical societies. In politics, he was a supporter of the Democratic party. In 1890, he was honored with the nomination for member of the legislature from Butler County, as he also was in 1898, from Mercer County. Though unsuccessful at the elections, he made creditable races in each county and acquitted himself in the campaign well.
He was connected with the order of Odd Fellows and was advanced to the Encampment. He was a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and in church affiliations was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
