DR. P. J. FAUGHNAN, a highly respected citizen and well known physician of

Locust Gap, Pa., has for many years been one of the most active men in the

township, and has built up a large and lucrative practice in the county. He is

the son of Francis and Fannie (Cremman) Faughnan, and was born February 23,

1865, in Gamble township, Lycoming County, Pa. Francis Fatighnan was born in

County Latrim, Ireland, and he married Fannie Cremman who was a native of County

Cork, Ireland. They immigrated to America in the early 40’s and settled in

Lycoming County, Pa., where Mr. Faughnan departed this life. His wife, however,

still lives in that county.



  Dr. P. J. Faughnan, the subject of this sketch, was educated in the schools of

Lycoming County and also attended the Lycoming County Normal School at Muncy,

Pa. For three years he taught school, and during the summers worked at

carpentering, doing contract work. He then entered the preceptorship of Dr. D.

C. Flanagan of Ralston, Pa., and later entered the College of Physicians and

Surgeons, at Baltimore, Md., and was graduated from that institution in 1892. In

1893 he successfully passed the state examination and was admitted to practice

in Pennsylvania, and at once located at Locust Gap, his present location, and

has since enjoyed a large general practice.



  Dr. Faughnan married Winifred Mathewson and their union has been blessed with

one child, Marguerite. Politically, Dr. Faughan is a stanch Democrat and while

he has never sought political distinction, he has represented his party as

delegate to county conventions. Dr. Faughnan has a host of warm friends in the

county. He is a man of splendid attainments and fine natural abilities and is

looked upon as one of the best physicians in the county.
