General Notes: Husband - Samuel D. Ramsey


He was educated at Hopewell academy and Oxford seminary, and after completing his academic education he, in April, 1869, entered the office of that distinguished attorney and statesman, the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and began the study of law. After two years of careful preparation he was admitted to the bar on April 24, 1871, and immediately opened an office in West Chester for the practice of his profession. Being endowed with great native ability and the energy of character necessary to develop and cultivate his powers, he soon became quite successful and won an honorable position at the bar. He was in continuous practice in the courts of Chester County for more than twenty years, and enjoyed a large and constantly increasing clientage.
In religion he was a Presbyterian, and a leading member of that denomination in the place of his residence. Politically he was a stanch republican, and always gave his support and influence to that party. He was also a member of Oxford Lodge, No. 353, Free and Accepted Masons.
