General Notes: Husband - Calvin G. Hillbish


He was a physician and surgeon. His first preceptor was his brother Daniel, and he graduated in medicine in March, 1856, from Dartmouth College. In November, 1856, he was appointed a surgeon in the United States army as the result of a competitive examination, and was ordered to California, where he remained three years, meanwhile contracting a disease from which he died. In March, 1861, he was surgeon of the garrison at Fort Pickens, and on its reinforcement he was ordered to Governor's Island; but the hand of death was already upon him, and he started for his old home at Freeburg, Pennsylvania, but stopped to see his brother Philip at McKees Half Falls; he lived only six days, dying August 6, 1861, and his remains were taken to Freeburg, and interred at the side of his parents.
