General Notes: Husband - Dr. Walter Lowrie Williams, M.D.
He attended the public schools of Williamsburg, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, finishing his literary education at Reid Institute, Reidsville, Pennsylvania, whence he was graduated with honor. He decided upon the profession of medicine, entered the University Medical College of New York, and was graduated M. D. in 1872. He then began the practice of his profession at Fryburg, Pennsylvania, later at Strattonville, Pennsylvania, and in 1879 settled in Ridgway, Elk County, Pennsylvania. He has always had a large practice, and he gained a place in the hearts of his large clientele which was only occupied by the country doctor of the old school. He doctored in families for a quarter of a century, and when a new family was formed by marriage, and a doctor's services were needed, the old doctor only was thought of. He was a skillful physician and kept in touch with modern discovery and used all modern methods of treating diseases and wounds. In 1885 he was elected president of the Elk County Medical Society; he was surgeon at Ridgway for the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburgh railroad for several years. He was later surgeon for the Pennsylvania railroad and also United States pension examiner for Elk County.

B. Switzer. He served all through the Peninsula campaign and was engaged in nearly every battle fought by the famous "Fifth Corps."
