University, later entering the Medical College of Ohio, at Cincinnati, at that time the best medical college west of the Alleghanies. He graduated with the class of 1883, and began the practice of medicine at Petersburg, Pike county, Indiana, where he was associated for eight years with Dr. J. R. Adams, one of the oldest and best physicians in the county. He came to Mt. Vernon in 1872, where he has since resided. Before coming to Mt. Vernon he did post-graduate work in Philadelphia, Pa., under Dr. S. Weir Mitchell and Joseph Price, then went to New York and took a full course in the New York Polyclinic. He was married to Miss Cornelia Thomas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Thomas, of this city, in 1897. Two daughters have been born to them, Anne V. and Emma B.
