General Notes: Husband - Edward Marcellus Clifford, M.D.


He received his primary education in the common schools adjacent to his home, and from there passed to the Ligonier Academy and Independence Academy, where he pursued higher branches. He then taught for two winters in Westmoreland and Indiana counties. He read medicine with Dr. H. L. Donley, of Latrobe, and in the autumn of 1879 entered the Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, from which institution he was graduated in 1882 with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. During his last year he served in the Philadelphia hospitals, thereby greatly adding to the knowledge already acquired and greatly benefitting him in many ways during his subsequent career. In the spring of 1882 he settled at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where he practiced one year, moving thence to Scottdale, and remaining at that place until 1890. He then took up his abode in Greensburg, where he practiced until 1903, when he removed to Ligonier, having purchased what was known as the Frank hotel and cottages on the site of which he built a sanitarium and baths, establishing the Ligonier Springs Hotel Sanitarium. This he conducted for two years, acting as president of the company, also as medical director. During this time he still continued his practice in Greensburg, devoting two days in each week to his patients there. In the early part of the year 1905 he disposed of the sanitarium in Ligonier, and then resumed his residence and practice in Greensburg.
