CHARLES A. HARTLEY, M. D., physician, Casstown. Of the medical profession of Casstown, we mention Dr. C. A. Hartley, who was born in Columbiana Co., Ohio, Sept. 8, 1847; he is a son of W. L. and Esther A. Hartley, who were born in Bucks Co., Penn.; the grandparents and their ancestors being of the denomination of William Penn, Quakers, and of English descent; the parents removed from Pennsylvania to Ohio, in about 1845, and located in Columbiana Co., remaining only a few years; thence to Warren Co., Ohio, again to Miami Co., and finally located in Casstown in August, 1877, where he resided till his death, which occurred March 24, 1878; the mother is still living, and with her son, Dr. Hartley. They were parents of eight children, three of whom are now living, viz., Alonzo. Sarah, now Mrs. Tannehill, of Delphos, Ohio, and Charles A. Dr. Hartley’s father being a physician, our subject had his attention early called to the profession and the study of medicine. Receiving a liberal common-school education, at the age of nineteen years he attended a course of lectures at the Western Reserve College, Cleveland, Ohio, after which he attended the Eclectic Institute of Cincinnati; Feb. 7, 1871, he graduated, and with his father, entered upon the practice of his profession in Warren Co., Ohio. In the fall of 1871, they removed to Casstown, where he has since remained in practice, having from the first done a good business, which from year to year has steadily increased. From his ample qualifications, his mild and affable manners toward his patrons, we can safely predict for him a growing practice and a successful future. His marriage with Miss Sarah M., daughter of Joseph and Catharine Allen, was duly celebrated Jan. 27, 1875; they have two children, viz., Charles Allen and Clara Esther.
