Children

General Notes: Husband - Dr. Frank Forrest Urey, M.D.


He was reared on the old home farm, and received his preliminary educa­tional training in the common schools of that district, supplemented by a three-year course in McElwain Institute at New Lebanon, PA. He later attended Slippery Rock Normal School, after which he was engaged as instructor four years in the district schools of Mill Creek Township, Mercer County, Pennsylvania, and one year at Chewton, Wayne Township, in Lawrence County. In 1894 he entered the drug business in Wampum and continued in that line of employment at various points in northwestern Pennsylvania, be­coming a licensed pharmacist. In Septem­ber, 1896, he began attending lectures in the Medical Department of Western Uni­versity of Pennsylvania, at Pittsburgh, and in 1900 was graduated, with the degree of M. D. During the following year he en­gaged in hospital work in Shenango Val­ley Hospital, at New Castle, and on June 1, 1901, embarked in practice at Wampum, PA, where he continued with success until his removal to Mahoningtown. He had engaged in the drug business at Wampum in partnership with his brother-in-law, D. C. Williams, the business being conducted under the management of the latter, but in the name of Dr. Urey. He sold out to his partner in 1906. His practice had become such as to induce him to seek a large field of operation, and on May 6th of that year he removed to Mahoningtown. He was a member of the Lawrence County Medical Association, the State Medical Society, and the American Medical Association. Fra­ternally, he was a prominent member of Lodge No. 69, B. P. O. E., and the Knights of Pythias.
