General Notes: Husband - Prof. Alonzo Linn

---

He was born in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and came when a boy of twelve years to the vicinity of Monongahela where he was reared and later became an instructor in the Washington-Jefferson College. He served in this capacity until the time of his death, at the age of seventy-four years.

He prepared for college at Blake's Academy, in Monongahela City, Pennsylvania, and was graduated from Jefferson College in 1849. In his career at school and college he attracted the notice of his companions and instructors as a person of unusual ability and great aptitude for the acquisition of knowledge. He was modest and retiring, but, notwithstanding, always somewhat prominent for excellence. After leaving college he entered the Western Theological Seminary, at Allegheny, and completed its course, and was licensed by the Redstone Presbytery in 1854. From the seminary he went to the La Fayette College as tutor, served a year, and was promoted to be Adjunct Professor of Mathematics. He resigned this position, and for a short time was principal of an academy in New Brunswick, New Jersey. This again he left to enter upon a professorship in Jefferson College, in 1857. At the time of the consolidation of Washington and Jefferson Colleges in 1869, he removed to Washington, and there in addition to being a Professor he was made Vice-President of the college. In all these busy years he maintained a uniform reputation as an educator, as a teacher and a scholar. He received the degree of Ph. D. from his own college, and that of LL. D., from La Fayette.
