and entered the public school
lie was graduate from the Logan
High School in June 1896. In
April 1898 he was graduate from
the Ohio Medical University al
Columbus, o. Fifteen years OF
his young, active, unfolding life
were thus given to preparation fol-
life in school and college, and be-
ing able to take the entire Medi-
cal Course in three year he had
secured all of his diplomas before
he was twenty one years of age.
He at once began the practice of
medicine at Chillicothe, o., but
soon moved his office to Hudson,
Ind, where he remained for many
months. In the spring of 1900, lie
found great demand for his SER
vices at Letart, o., and decided to
locate in that place.
On November 28, of the same
year he was married to Miss Jessie
A. Sherrow of Hudson, Ind.
Happily settled in his own home
in Letart he gave himself to untir-
ing effort to care for the sick of
his town and community, until
April 1901, when his strength sud-
denly gave way and he found that
his health was broken. Among
kind friends at Macarthur and
Logan for the past four years he
has bravely lived between the ebb
and flow of anxiety and hope as
he felt his life slowly but surely
slipping away. His suffering call
ed forth the most patient and
heroic elements of his noble man
hood. His knowledge Of diseases
gave him clear understanding of
his condition and this he never
tried to conceal from his friends.
His gratitude for the kindly min
istries of loving hands and his
resignation to the Divine will never
failed him. On the twentieth day
of last August he walked for the
last time. For these eight months
he has lived in the fading light of
earths enjoyments, but in the
Frightening hope of immortal bliss.
The close was as the sun sinking
beneath a cloudless horizon giving
assurance of bright dawn and n
glorious day to follow. In Sep
tember 1892 when he was but fif-
teen years of age he united with
the Methodist Episcopal Church.
When he left Logan he took q let
ter of church membership with
him, but did not present it to any
other church. For re son 8
of neglect he felt that he had for
feited his right to be called a
member: of the church and on
March 1, 1905 he again answered
the questions and became mem
ber of +. the church. Sincerity
kindness and thoroughness charac.
terized everything the Doctor did
In school and college he made 6
fine record, as physician he was
one of the most promising oul
county has ever produced. In hi
practice of medicine he was very
kind to the needy and untiring to
ward the suffering. AS a chris
tian he was sincere to the las
analysis of human character. HI
believed less in his own worthines
than did any of his friends. HI
made no claims of moral fitness il
himself. For many months he ha
diligently read his Bible and fol
lowed closely the words of tn
Saviour as indicated in the Ret
. Letter Bible. He has clung clos
to Jesus Christ and trusted alon
in him. =.
