General Notes: Husband - James King Davidson

---

He passed his earlier years in Greencastle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in the meantime receiving the education the schools of the town and vicinity afforded, and where, subsequently, he prosecuted his studies, preparatory to becoming a student at Dickinson College, where he graduated before his twentieth year. Soon afterward he began the reading of medicine in the office of Dr. John McClellan, of Greencastle, and graduated at Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1833. After leaving college he practiced his profession at McConnellsburg, Bedford County, for one year; then emigrated West and located at Shelbyville, Shelby County, Indiana. In 1836 he returned to Greencastle, and for some six years was engaged in merchandising and farming, but resumed the practice of his profession in 1842, and continued for many years. For fifty years or more the Doctor was closely and prominently identified with the social and public enterprise of the borough of Greencastle and vicinity. He was a ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church, to which office he was elected in 1846, under the pastorate of the Rev. T. V. Moore. He was one of the charter members in organizing the First National Bank of Greencastle, acted as director some years, and became its president; served many years on the board of education; in politics a Whig and Republican.
