General Notes: Husband - Dr. Frederick William Hogarth


His parents lived in London, England, at the time his father enlisted and was sent to India, and the lad was educated in the old Blue Coat School, founded in 1545 by Henry VIII of England. This was a famous school supported by the Brit­ish government, the distinctive uniform for the boys being a blue coat. Later he entered a university in Dublin, Ireland, whence he was graduated in pharmacy in 1858. He then came to the United States, settling in Roches­ter, New York, where he secured employment as draughtsman with the company then build­ing the first railroad between Rochester and Buffalo. In 1861 he enlisted in a New York regiment, serving three months as hospital steward. He then enlisted with the famous Pennsylvania Bucktails, serving in the same capacity until April 12, 1864, when he was transferred to the northwestern territory as assistant surgeon. He saw active service there against the Indians, accompanying his regiment on their expedition into the Black Hills of Wyoming, and on other hazardous marches. After the war he continued medi­cal study, and was graduated Medical Doctor from the University of Buffalo. In 1866 he established in Smethport, PA, the first drugstore in McKean County; later moved to Port Alle­gany, establishing a drugstore there and prac­ticing his profession until his death. He was a successful pharmacist and skillful physician. He was a member of the Episcopal church.
