Notes
David struck out for himself at the age of 16 and went to Coudersport, Potter Co., PA where he attended an academy under William H. DePuy, the talented son of a Bonny Hill neighbor and from whom he had acquired a thirst for knowledge and an ambition to fit himself for the higher challenges of life. He studied medicine while teaching school, but did not practice until later in life, having devoted thirty years to teaching and farming. He held a license as a local Preacher in the Methodist Church for some years, and was active in Sunday School and church work. He was a vigorous, active man, generous to a fault, and devoted to the service of his fellow men. He served one year in the Civil War, coming out considerably broken in health. He practiced medicine from about 1872 until within a year or two before his death in 1905.
