General Notes: Husband - Dr. John S. Flickinger

---

After pursuing his studies for several years at Marshall College, Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, commenced the study of medicine with Dr. John C. Richards, of Chambersburg, where he remained three years, graduating in medicine at Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia, March 8, 1850. Though inclined to go South the Doctor yielded to the wishes of his father and sisters, and located at his father's house in Path Valley, where he built up a large and lucrative practice.

"Centrebrook" was the name of Dr. Flickinger's home, situated in Metal Township, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, two miles north of Fannettsburg and ten miles north of Richmond. It was in the center of Path Valley, one of the loveliest spots of that beautiful vale. The farm on which the home stood was surveyed in pursuance of a warrant dated May 14, 1755. The old mansion house was frame, and was near to, and east of the Doctor's later residence. The house was on the property when John Flickinger, the grandfather of the Doctor, purchased it. The land was limestone, adapted to wheat and corn, surface generally level, though more or less hilly toward the creek. Three lovely springs came gushing up here and there from the fields; and one beautiful stream called "Marsh Run" flowed gracefully through the entire farm, and found repose in the grand old (west) Conococheague. From 225 acres the farm produced in one year as much as 1,200 bushels of wheat and 1,500 bushels of corn. The property came down in regular descent from John Flickinger (grandfather of the Doctor), who purchased it from one Mr. Chillison, in 1797, and by whom it was originally taken up.
