General Notes: Husband - Dr. Robert V. Wilson

---

He studied medicine with his cousin, Dr. R. F. Van Valzah, and graduated at Jefferson Medical College in 1849. He first settled in Curwensville, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, and then in Clearfield in 1850. He was a man of more than ordinary attainments, as a practitioner he was eminently successful. He obeyed promptly the summons of the poor and the rich alike. Sacrificing personal comfort and unselfishly devoting himself to his patients, he spent the short years of his life ministering to the afflicted often without hope of reward. He was one of the founders and the first president of the Clearfield Medical Society,
