General Notes: Husband - Dr. John H. Martin

---

He was educated at Thiel College, Greenville, and Westminster College, Wilmington, Lawrence County, PA, and read medicine in his father's office. He graduated at the Eclectic Medical Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio, June 3, 1879, and at once associated himself in practice with Dr. W. C. Brittain, of Cochranton, Crawford County, a former student in his father's office. He practiced there and at Utica, Venango County, five years, and then spent about one year in the Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital, of Chicago, IL, where he graduated February 25, 1885. The failing health of his father necessitated his return to Greenville, where to a large extent he took charge of his father's business. The Doc­tor was a member of the Masonic and I. O. O. F. fraternities, and a warm ad­herent of the Republican party. After opening an office at Greenville he built up a large practice, and was also surgeon-in-chief of the Pittsburgh, Shenango & Lake Erie Railroad. [HMC 1888, 814]

On account of the failing health of his father, he returned to Greenville and assumed his father's practice, where, with the exception of two years, he thereafter resided. He first practiced medicine at Utica, Venango County, and at Cochranton, Crawford County, Pennsylvania, continuing at these points about five years. He then attended the Chicago. Homeopathic College and located in Greenville, where he successfully engaged in private practice, with the exception of the years 1893-94, when he was in charge of the medical department of Cambridge Springs Sanitarium.
