General Notes: Husband - E. Bruce Earhart, M.D.


He began his education in public school in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and later went to the Eldersridge academy. He took his collegiate course at Mount Union College, at Alliance, Ohio, and pursued his medical studies at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio, graduating from the medical department of that institution in 1890. In 1891 he began independent practice at Cincinnati, and remained there one year, in 1892 settling at Saltsburg, Pennsylvania, where he has since resided and found his life work. Some years ago he took a post-graduate course at the New York Polyclinic, graduating in 1903. Dr. Earhart was an indefatigable worker, and besides attending to the large private practice, he acted as examiner for several of the leading life insurance companies doing business in his locality and gave considerable time to hospital work. On Aug. 15, 1909, Dr. Earhart established a general hospital at Saltsburg, which was promptly recognized as an important acquisition in the town, being equipped with all the modern appliances for the treatment and care of the sick. It had accommodations for thirty-five patients, and was a success from the beginning. The institution gave Dr. Earhart an opportunity to do justice to his surgical cases, in which he was eminently successful, his reputation in that branch being particularly creditable. His greatest interest was in the line of the rapid strides made in surgery and preventive medicine. Dr. Earhart was a member of the Indiana County Medical Society (which he served as vice president), the Pennsylvania State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. Socially be belonged to the I. O. O. F., and his church connection was with the Presbyterian denomination.
