Y., 8 March, 1854, to the REV. GILES BUTLER CLEVELAND, born 12 Aug.,
1825, in Durham, Greene County, N. Y. They have one son, viz.:
Arthur Horton Cleveland, born in the city of Philadelphia, 10
Feb., 1865.
Mrs. Cleveland graduated from the Ladies' Department of Oberlin
College (Ohio), in 1853, and from the Woman's Medical College of
Pennsylvania, in 1855. She was elected to the Chair of Anatomy in
that College, in 1857, which she held until 1862, when she was
transferred to the Chair of Obstetrics. This she still occupies, and
is also a member of the Board of Corporators.
In 1860, at the solicitation of a number of philanthropic ladies
of Philadelphia, who had in view the establishment of a Hospital
for Women and Children, Professor Cleveland went abroad for medical
study, and to make herself acquainted with the arrangements and
management of hospitals. She entered the School of Obstetrics in
connection with the _Maternite_ of Paris, and after receiving the
diploma of that institution, found ready access to the wards and
lecture-rooms of other hospitals, and was allowed free inspection of
their administrative departments.
On her return, she was chosen Resident Physician of the then
chartered Woman's Hospital of Philadelphia, which position she
continued to fill for seven years. She has been one of the Managers
of the Hospital from its organization, and a member of the Consulting
Board since her retirement from the office of Resident Physician.
Professor Cleveland has made a number of important surgical
operations, and is the first woman, so far as known, who ever
performed ovariotomy. In her second case, a tumor, weighing fifty
pounds, was successfully removed, the patient making a good recovery.
IV. MARY ANN, daughter of Chauncey Horton and Amanda Chaffee, born in
Ashford, Ct., 1 Feb., 1831; married 16 May, 1854, the REV. RICHARD
HOLTON CLARK, born in Carolina Centre, Tompkins Co., N. Y., about
1828.
Children:
1. Mary Frances, born in Stockbridge, N. Y., 20 May, 1856.
2. Emma, born in Nelson, N. Y., 5 Aug., 1858.
