General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Fife

---

He was educated in Dr. Marshall's Academy and obtained his professional training at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, whence he was graduated M.D., class of 1852. He first began practice in Washington County, Pennsylvania, but after a few years returned to his native township and for forty-five years was continuously engaged in the practice of his profession, nearly that entire period having been spent in Upper St. Clair. He was a physician of the old school, traveled thousands of miles on horseback with saddle bags filled with medicine and surgical instruments for the relief of the settlers to whom he was often "an angel of mercy." The "good doctor" was widely known and greatly beloved, numbering among his best friends the children of those whose advent into the world had been with his kindly aid. He was a trusted friend and adviser, as well as the "healer of bodies," and very close to the hearts of his people, a type of the old family physician too rarely found in later years. He took a deep interest in political affairs and was a devout Presbyterian, belonging to Bethel Church.
