General Notes: Husband - Dr. J. Howard Swick

---

In his youth he attended the public schools, later enrolling in Peirsol's Academy, where he completed the college preparatory course. For five years after his graduation from this institution he was engaged in the pedagogical profession, at the expiration of that time entering Geneva College, where he took a two years course. Medicine was the field that made the strongest appeal to him, and as it became necessary for him to decide upon a profession, he accordingly matriculated at the Hahnemann Homoeopathic Medical College in Philadelphia, whence he was graduated in 1906. During the last two years of his course he served as interne in the Children's Homoeopathic Hospital of Philadelphia, performing the duties of this position in connection with the demands of his college schedule, which was in itself adequate occupation, and sufficient to busy a student without leaving leisure. The energy that prompted him to undertake this double burden, as well as to serve two months as an interne in the Pittsburgh Homoeopathic Hospital, also marked his active practice, begun in Beaver Falls soon after he received his diploma and degree from the Hahnemann Institute. After his residence in Beaver Falls he was physician-in-charge of the dependents of North Sewickley and Franklin township, and was likewise a member of the health bureau for the same length of time. To a large extent his practice was general in character, although he was a specialist in the diseases of childhood, having made that branch of his profession the object of careful study and investigation. Dr. Swick was also a willing and useful worker in the cause of civic advancement. He was a member of the health bureau, safeguarding his fellow citizens from epidemics, as far as lay within his power, by his advocacy of sanitary improvements and his strict surveillance of conditions in the public schools. His medical societies were: The Beaver County and Pennsylvania State Homoeopathic and the American Institute of Homoeopathy. His political support was given to the Republican party, and he also affiliated with the Protective Home Circle, American Insurance Union, and the Masonic Order, belonging to Beaver Falls Lodge, No. 662, Free and Accepted Masons, Harmony Chapter, No. 206, Royal Arch Masons, and Beaver Valley Commandery, No. 84, Knights Templar.
