General Notes: Husband - Dr. John Perry Sproull


He first attended the public schools. Qualifying for the profession of a teacher, he followed that calling for seven years, during that period obtaining advanced instruction at the Sunbury Academy. Finishing the academic course and being graduated, he read medicine with Dr. Gibson of Cleveland, Ohio, for two years. Then he entered the Cleveland Medical College, and was graduated with high honors in 1877. His first field of practice was in Plain Grove, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.

He was devoted to the United Presbyterian Church, and was a member of the Sessions. In medical circles, he was one of the best-known physicians of the Lawrence County Medical Society. Politically, he was a Republican, but was a strong temperance man, and a follower of the Prohibition party.
Dr. Sproull kept in step with the advances made by his profession, He was pre-eminently of a studious turn of mind, and his reading covered an extensive field over and beyond the actual needs of his vocation.
