General Notes: Husband - Dr. John McElrath

---

He immigrated to Beaver Co, PA, in 1822 with his father. They later came to Mercer County, and John subsequently returned to Beaver County. In 1852 he settled in Jackson Township, Mercer county, where he died. He took his medical course at Cleveland and Jeffer­son Medical Colleges, and practiced successfully for many years.

He was the second child of his parents and immigrated to America with them in the fall of 1822, and settled in Beaver County, Penn. He received a thorough education in Beaver Academy, and after completing his course of studies, followed teaching as an occupation, and at the same time prosecuted the study of medicine, under the tutelage of the late Dr. George Allison, of Beaver, Penn. He attended the Western Reserve Medical College, at Cleveland, Ohio. In the fall of 1852 he located in Jackson Centre, Mercer County, PA. He again attended medical lectures in the winter of 1867-68, at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. In his profession and in the sick room he was a cool, calculating and, in an eminent degree, thorough physician, possessing that rare faculty of cheerfulness which gave to the patient strength, encour­agement and hope, and that gentleness which could apprise them of their approaching dissolution without excitement or dread. [HMC 1888, 1011]
