General Notes: Husband - Dr. R. V. Spackman

---

He was born in Bellefonte, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and was a youth when the family removed to Clearfield County. In company with Dr. Read of Osceola Mills, he read medicine under Dr. R. V. Wilson of Clearfield, and entered Jefferson Medical College in 1864. After a short course there he began the practice of his profession, but deeming a little more study necessary he re-entered the college and was graduated with the class of 1868. Locating in Luthersburg, he was in active practice there for twenty-five years. He then changed his field of endeavor to Reynoldsville for about three years, then went to DuBois, where he continued in his profession until his death.
