General Notes: Husband - Rev. Samuel S. Wylie


He was reared on the farm, and attended the common school until he was sixteen years of age; afterward he entered Washington and Jefferson College, from which he graduated in 1867. He entered the theological seminary at Allegheny City, Pennsylvania, in 1867, and graduated at that institution in 1870. He was licensed to preach in 1869, by the Pittsburgh Presbytery. After graduating in his theological course, in 1870, he spent one year in teaching and as supply preacher, in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. He then went to Scotland, where he entered the Free Church Theological College at Edinburgh, and remained one year. On his return to America he was ordained, and accepted a charge at Middle Spring, Cumberland County, where he remained for more than fourteen years. He was a thorough scholar and an accomplished gentleman, and his efforts in his profession were attended with marked success in winning souls to his Master and gathering in his church and Sabbath-school many individuals and families. He wrote a very authentic history of the Presbyterian Church at Middle Spring, which was one of the first established in the Cumberland Valley. [HCC 1886, 548]

He graduated from Washington and Jefferson College in 1866, studied theology for two years at the Western Theological Seminary, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and one year in Edinburgh, Scotland. He settled at Middle Springs, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, as pastor of the Presbyterian church at that place, in 1872. While a student at college he enlisted in Knapp's Battery and served his country in guarding Washington, D. C., for six months.
