General Notes: Husband - Dr. Buckland Gillett


His parents were natives of Connecticut, who emigrated to Schoharie County, New York, and thence to Fredonia, Chautauqua County. He received a good education at the Fredonia Academy, and in 1824 began his medical studies with Doctor S. White. After a four years' course he was admitted to an examination by the censors of the Chautauqua County Medical Society, and licensed to practice medicine and surgery in conformity with the law then in force in the state of New York. In 1829 he began practice at Titusville, Pennsylvania, but in May, 1834, moved to Franklin, where he made his home and continued in the active practice of his profession nearly half a century. In 1847 he matriculated and attended lectures at Harvard University, and subsequently the honorary degree of M. D. was conferred upon him by the University of Wooster at Cleveland, Ohio. He assisted in the organization of the Venango County Medical Society, of which he was the first president. He was also a member of the State Medical Society and one of its vice-presidents; a member of the American Medical Association, and an honorary member of the California State Medical Society.
