DR. L. S. LIVINGSTON, a successful young physician, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, 
who has won his way unaided by the influence of friends or relations, is a con 
of Alfred W. and Mary (Berkebile) Livingston, and was born in Conemaugh 
township, Somerset county, Pennsylvania, May 22, 1866.
     He is of Scotch-Irish extraction and his grandfather, Samuel Livingston, is 
a native and life-long resident of Somerset county. He was born in the year 
1809, and is, therefore, eighty-seven years of age.
     Alfred W. Livingston, the father of our subject, was also a native of 
Somerset county, born April 6, 1841, and still resides there. He is a carpenter 
by trade, and has followed that trade, together with agricultural pursuits, all 
his life, excepting nearly three and one-half years spent in the Federal army. 
He belonged to company I, Fifty-fourth regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer 
infantry. He participated in a number of engagements, and was wounded at New 
Market. Throughout all the trials and hardships of the war, and, indeed, they 
were many, he bore himself bravely and courageously, and was honorably 
discharged from the United States service on October 10, 1864, at Harper's 
Ferry, Virginia.
     His marriage with Mary, a daughter of Peter Berkebile, resulted in the 
birth of ten children; eight sons and two daughters.
     April 24, 1890, Dr. Livingston and Miss Lavina Stutzman, a daughter of 
Stephen Stutzman, were united in marriage, and to their union one son, Robert 
Lloyd, has been born.
     Dr. Livingston was educated in the schools of Somerset county, and 
afterwards taught eight consecutive terms in the public schools of that county. 
In 1887 he entered the office of Dr. George Conrad, of Johnstown, under whose 
preceptorship he continued three years. The following year, 1888, he entered the 
Eclectic Medical institute, of Cincinnati, Ohio, from which he was graduated 
June 4, 1891; since which time he has been engaged in active and successful 
practice in Johnstown. In the autumn of 1893, in order to more thoroughly 
qualify himself for the practice of his profession he took a post-graduate 
course in the Polyclinic college, of Philadelphia. In addition to his general 
practice, he makes a specialty of the nose and throat, in which he has met with 
success.
     Dr. Livingston is a live, progressive young physician, and takes an active 
interest in every movement which has for its object the advancement and 
promotion of the science of medicine. He is a member of the Central Medical 
Association of Pennsylvania, and the Eclectic medical Association of the State.
Dr. Livingston is not in the ordinary acceptance of the term a politician, but 
believing in pure citizenship, he takes an intelligent   interest in local, 
state and national politics, such an interest as every citizen should take, and 
upon such an interest the safety of our nation depends. He affiliates with the 
Republican party, but has never aspired to office. He is a member of Speer Orr 
Camp, No. 14, Sons of Veterans, of Johnstown.
