General Notes: Husband - James Kennedy Irwin, M.D.


He was born in Washington County, Pennsylvania, but shortly afterwards removed to Allegheny County, and resided there. He attended the common schools of Allegheny County, and later St. Vincent's college, at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where he was graduated in a classical course in 1882, receiving the degree of master of arts. He then entered the Illinois State pharmaceutical college, and was graduated in pharmacy in 1884. Then he attended Jefferson medical college of Philadelphia, and graduated from that institution in 1888 with the degree of M. D. For four years after graduating he practiced in Philadelphia with Prof. L. Webster Fox, a prominent lecturer on ophthalmology. At the end of that time he moved to Pittsburgh, where he became one of the leading physicians of the city. He resided at Ben Avon, had offices in the Smith building, and devoted the major portion of his time to diseases of the eye. Dr. Irwin was a member of the Philadelphia county medical society, the American medical association, the alumni of Jefferson medical college, was medical examiner for the New York life insurance company, and chief medical director of the Order of Unity.
