General Notes: Husband - Dr. George W. Yeager


He was educated in the Mercer Academy, under the instructions of D. B. Cook, William Stephenson, D. H. A. McLean, Samuel Griffith and others. He was employed, for many years, as a clerk for his father and others in Mercer. He began the study of medicine in 1847, with Drs. James and Beriah Magoffin, and attended a course of medical lectures at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1848. In 1849 he went to California, and two years later returned and resumed his studies, and in 1852 he graduated from the medical department of the University of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia. He at once began the practice of his chosen profession at Mercer. He was appointed the first physician to the county poor-house and was early identified with the medical society of Mercer County. He was a surgeon, in 1864, in the Union army, being located at the Soldiers' Rest Hospital, at Alexandria, Va., and the King Street Hospital, at the same city. He afterward had charge at Forts Whipple, Cass and Tillinghast, of the defenses of Washington. [HMC 1888, 701]
