JAMES HOWARD
HARRIS, M. D. one of the successful and
representative physicians and surgeons of Clark County, is
established in the practice of his profession at Clifton,
and has the satisfaction of claiming Clark County as the
place of his nativity, his birth having occurred in the City
of Springfield, Apr. 8, 1873. He is a son of Dr.
Ezra C. and Marie (Bird) Harris. The father was
born in Harmony Township, this county, Sept. 28, 1844, and
was reared on the pioneer farm, in the work of which he
early began to aid. He continued to attend the public
schools of the locality and period until the inception of
the Civil war, and though he was but sixteen years of age at
the time, he promptly found opportunity to give definite
expression to his youthful patriotism by enlisting as a
private in Company I, One Hundred and Tenth Ohio Volunteer
Infantry. He proceeded with his command to the front
and took part in all of its engagements until the time when
he was so severely wounded as to be incapacitated, when he
received his honorable discharge. After the war he
followed the course of his ambition by preparing himself for
the medical profession. He graduated from Starling
Medical College, now the medical department of the
University of Ohio, and then engaged in practice at Clifton,
where he continued his successful service until 1888, when
he removed to Springfield, the county seat, in which city he
held prestige as an able physician and surgeon and loyal and
progressive citizen until the time of his death, Apr. 19,
1920, his wife having passed away in 1882, and both having
been earnest members of the United Presbyterian Church, in
which he served many years as an elder. Dr. Harris
was a staunch advocate of the principles of the
republican party, was affiliated with the Grand Army of the
Republic, and in the Masonic fraternity he received the
thirty-second degree of the Scottish Rite. He
consecrated his life to his noble and exacting profession,
which was dignified and honored by his character and
service. Of the children, Dr. James H., of this
review, is the eldest; Mabel, who graduated from
Monmouth College, is, in 1922, a student in the University
of Ohio, and Lucy, likewise a graduate of Monmouth
College, is the wife of Rev. Joseph Speer,
a Presbyterian clergyman.
Dr. James H. Harris was reared at Clifton and
Springfield, and after having attended the high school in
Springfield and pursued a higher course in Wittenberg
College, he entered Starling Medical College, his father’s
alma mater, in which institution, now a part of the
University of Ohio, he was graduated in 1895, with the
degree of Doctor of Medicine. From that time to the present,
he has been successfully established in general practice at
Clifton, and is doing a work that effectively supplements
that of his honored father. He has developed a large
and successful practice and is one of the representative
physicians and surgeons of his native county, within which
his circle of friends is coincident with that of his
acquaintances. He is actively identified with the
Clark County Medical Society, the Ohio State Medical Society
and the American Medical Association. His political
allegiance is given to the republican party,and he and his
wife are active members of the Presbyterian Church in their
home village.
On the 14th of November, 1895, was solemnized the
marriage of Dr. Harris and Miss Gretta McCullough,
who likewise was born and reared in Clark County and who is
a graduate of the Clifton High School. Dr. and Mrs.
Harris have one son, James M., who is, in 1922, a
member of the junior class in the Clifton High School.

ELLIS HENTHORN. Among the older residents
of Springfield few are better known and none more highly
esteemed than Ellis Henthorn, for many years a
leading contractor, and an honored veteran of the great
Civil War. He is a native of Ohio, and except during
the time when he was serving his country wherever duty
called he has practically spent his life in the Buckeye
State.
Mr. Henthorn was born in Monroe County, Ohio,
Apr. 22, 1838. His parents were James and Eliza
(Wright) Henthorn, his father a native of Monroe County
and his mother born in 1815 in Greene County, Pennsylvania.
His paternal grandparents, Robert and Elizabeth Wright,
to Green County, Pennsylvania. James Henthorn
was born in 1812, was a farmer all his life in Monroe
County, Ohio, and died there in 1854. His widow
survived him many years, dying at Springfield, to which city
she had moved when it became the home of her son. She
passed away in 1902. Of their nine children but four
are living: Ellis, of Springfield; Thomas, of
Milford, Delaware; Jane, wife of Joseph Lang
of Springfield; and Andrew, also of Springfield.
Ellis Henthorn was sixteen years old when he
lost his father. He attended the district schools
during boyhood, but after his father's death provided for
his own needs by working for other farmers, and was so
engaged when the Civil war came on. On Jan. 6, 1862,
he enlisted for service, entering Company K, 78th Ohio
Volunteer Infantry, with which he took part in the battles
of Fort Donelson and Shiloh, also Raymond Junction, Jackson,
Champion's Hill and siege of Vicksburg, and was honorably
discharged at the close of this enlistment. On Jan. 6,
1864, he re-enlisted in the same company and regiment, being
in the 3rd Division, under General Logan, and in the
17th Army Corps, commanded by Gen. James A. McPherson,
whose death he later witnessed at the battle of Atlanta.
Mr. Henthorn participated in the battle of Kenesaw
Mountain, marched to the sea under Sherman, fought at
Atlanta, then marched back to Petersburg and then to
Richmond, and was one of the victorious army that took part
in that never-to-be forgotten Grand Review at Washington, D.
C. on May 21, 1865, and was finally discharged July 11,
1865.
Mr. Henthorn married on Apr. 10, 1864, Miss
Laura Tuttle, who was born at Zanesville, Ohio, Aug. 29,
1847, a daughter of Benjamin and Catherine L. (Trout)
Tuttle, and a granddaughter of Solomon and Sarah
(Lowe) Tuttle During the Revolutionary war
Grandfather Solomon Tuttle served in the Vermont
Dragoons, was captured by the British and kept a prisoner
for thirteen months. After his marriage Mr.
Henthorn located at Zanesville, and under his
father-in-law learned the stone mason's trade. After
the death of Mr. Tuttle in 1879 Mr. and Mrs.
Henthorn moved to Springfield, and here he went into the
contracting business and for seven and one-half years, in
addition to doing a large amount of work for private
parties, did all the city stone work for bridge abutments
and culverts. For fifteen years and three months also
he was contractor for all the stone work for the National
Harvester Company at Lagonda, then a suburb but now a part
of the City of Springfield. Mr. Henthorn
continued active in business until the age of seventy-five
years, when failing eyesight compelled him to retire.
Mr. and Mrs. Henthorn had six children born to
them: Alice, who died at the age of six years;
Augusta and Mary L., both of whom lived to be
forty-two years old; William, a soldier during a
great part of his life, died in Springfield, Ohio, Nov. 21,
1919; Bessie, who resides with her father; and
Charles Foster, who was a soldier in the
Spanish-American war, is connected with the International
Harvester Company at Springfield. Mr. Henthorn's
son William served three years in the United States
Regulars in the Spanish American war in the Philippines,
during the Boxer trouble in China, and on the Mexican
border. In the World's war he served as first sergeant
of Company B, his regiment being in the 37th Division, 148th
Regiment. Mr. Henthonr belongs to the Grand
Army of the Republic, is a republican in politics, and is a
member of the Church of Christ.

JOHN J. HOPPES.
Being born and reared on a farm seems to be one of the
old-fashioned requisites of the successful career.
Innumerable examples exist of outstanding men who, on frosty
mornings of boyhood days, had warmed their bare feet on the
spot where the cow had lain. Somehow, nature gives the
country-bred boy a wider grasp on life’s problems, places
upon his shoulders greater care of self-dependence, instills
a more developed power of initiative, and assists in the
upbuilding of a rugged, strong physique. A product of
the farm who has risen to a high place among the Ohio
inventors and engineers is John J. Hoppes, of
Springfield, who was born on a farm in Pickaway County,
Ohio, Sept. 4, 1857, a son of Daniel and Helen (Stanton)
Hoppes.
The Hoppes family in remote times lived
in Lorraine, in what is now France, but during the Thirty
Years’ war removed to Belgium, and from that country
immigrated to the United States. In direct line
members served in the Revolutionary war and the War of 1812.
Daniel Hoppes was a contractor engaged in
building operations, most of which were flour mills
scattered about central Ohio. At the early age of
twelve years John J. Hoppes began to help his father,
and four years later, during his father’s illness, took over
the contracts. For about two years he was engaged in
the construction and operation of these mills, which were
driven by both steam and water. In this capacity he
did everything from landscape gardening to engine operating,
and later on in life made good use of the diversified
experience thus gained. As a young man he was always
quiet, thoughtful and studious, and at the age of sixteen
years passed a teachers’ examination, although his youth
prevented an assignment.
Early possessed of a desire to take up engineering
studies, he decided to enter Stephens Institute of
Technology, and had some correspondence with Dr. R. H.
Thurston with that end in view, but owing to his
father’s illness it became impossible for him to carry out
his desire. Doctor Thurston, however, had
become interested in the youth and offered to help him with
a personal correspondence course of instruction, which was
gladly accepted. He continued this course for some five
years, and attributes much of his success to the fundamental
guidance of Doctor Thurston. Very early in
life he took up the study of physics, which he has always
maintained greatly appealed to him. His copy of
Quackenbos’ Natural Philosophy, with its well-thumbed pages,
is still treasured on his book shelf.
About this time Mr. Hoppes began to
specialize in designing and rebuilding steam plants and
acting as consulting engineer in a small way to power users.
Soon his inventive and constructive talents became active,
and subsequently his attention was directed chiefly to
developing steam specialties. In 1882 he designed a
feed water heater and in 1885 a live steam feed water
purifier. Nature’s phenomena furnished him with his
first inspiration in designing the purifier, as, noticing
how the drip of water from the roofs of natural caverns
caused the formation of stalactites, he conceived the idea
of employing this principle in an apparatus for heating and
purifying boiler feed water by means of live steam.
Later on he applied this same principle to an exhaust steam
feed water heater. He also designed a new form of
steam separators, employing troughs partly filled with water
to intercept the entrainment. This principle he also
applied to exhaust pipe heads. The latest apparatus
designed by Mr. Hoppes is a V-notch water
meter, wherein the height of the water is weighed in the
ratio of the rate of flow. This apparatus, although
very simple, is a very ingenious device, a good example of
the ability of Mr. Hoppes to clearly analyze a
difficult proposition. The greater number of these
inventions were brought to finition at Springfield, where
Mr. Hoppes is a recognized authority on his
specialties.
Mr. Hoppes is happily married, his wife
having been formerly Miss Hattie Merrill.
He is fond of his home, but when he can find the time is
also inclined to indulge his favorite recreations of
motoring and boating. Back in 1901 he designed and
built a 75-foot steel houseboat launch, which included many
unusual features new at that time. Civic improvement
is another avocation. Springfield, Ohio, in 1915, adopted
the commission form of government, and Mr. Hoppes,
who had advocated this form some dozen years before, was one
of those selected to draft the charter. In 1887 he was
elected one of the city commissioners, a position which he
still holds. A comprehensive sewage system, repaving
of the city’s streets, the elimination of overhead wiring
and numerous improvements made by the city have formed a
large part of his work in this position. Under the
administration of P. P. Mast, and three separate
times, he reorganized the police and fire departments of the
city. He was the principal organizer in the formation
of the National Improvement Association, and was its first
presiding officer. Later this association was changed
to the National Civic League. For twenty-five years he
has been a member of the American Society of Mechanical
Engineers, and is also a member of the Ohio Engineering
Society and the National Association of Stationary
Engineers.
In addition to directing the affairs of the concern
which bears his name Mr. Hoppes is also
president of the Trump Manufacturing Company, which
manufactures a new type of super high speed water wheel, in
the design of which Mr. Hoppes was largely
instrumental; president of the Everwear Manufacturing
Company, manufacturers of playground apparatus, also of
Springfield; and, since 1886, directing head of the
Hoppes Manufacturing Company, which he founded. He
helped organize the present Chamber of Commerce and was
president of its two predecessors, the Board of Trade and
the Commercial Club. He is a Knight Templar Mason and
a member of the Mystic Shrine, and a member of the Board of
Directors of the Lagonda National Bank. During the
World war he was an exceptionally busy man. As a
manufacturer he was called upon to build separators to be
used in separating the crude materials from gas for making
T. N. T. and other high explosives; the building of water
wheels for operating powder mills in France, and the
construction of water wheels for nitrate plants in this
country.

CHARLES NEWELL HUNTER
was a resident of Springfield forty years, was connected
with one of the city's manufacturing industries, and the
latter part of his life was successfully engaged in farming
and gardening at his place east of the city, where Mrs.
Hunter still lives.
He was born at Otsego, near Zanesville, Ohio, Dec. 2,
1845, son of John and Sarah (Newell) Hunter, his
father a native of Ireland and his mother of Pennsylvania,
of English parentage. When Charles Newell Hunter
was five years of age his parents, in 1850, moved to
McArthur in Vinton County, Ohio. In that locality he
grew to manhood, attended the public schools there and also
completed a business course at Portsmouth, Ohio. After
completing his education he clerked in general stores and
also became a teacher. His experience as a teacher
covered a period of about fourteen years.
In 1873 Mr. Hunter married Miss Emma Winter.
She died in 1889, and they lost all their three children in
infancy. In the meantime in 1882, Mr. Hunter
removed to Springfield, and became an employe of the West
End Malleable Works. For nine years he was a foreman
in that industry. Having given for many years such
faithful service to this business be finally retired and
bought approximately fifty acres just east of the city
limits. This farm contained a fine home, and the land
is now within the city limits of Springfield. Here
Mr. Hunter found profit as well as pleasure in
truck gardening and general farming, and continued those
activities until his death in Jan. 10, 1922.
On Aug. 1, 1894, he married Miss Laura Jane Evans.
Mrs. Hunter was born at Cincinnati, July 9, 1858,
daughter of Cornelius Springer and Catherine (Ellis)
Evans, the former born near Newark, Ohio, and the latter
in Ireland. Cornelius Evans was a Methodist
minister and was the son of Rev. William B. Evans,
one of the pioneer preachers of the Methodist denomination
in Ohio. Mrs. Hunter has two children, Ellis
Evans, born Mar. 9, 1896, and Ruth, born Feb. 19,
1897, both at home. Ruth is a teacher in the
public school. Mrs. Hunter was reared in
the various towns and communities where her father had his
duties as a minister. For five years she was a student
in the Cincinnati Art School, and she was a teacher of art
in the public schools of Springfield until her marriage.
She keeps in touch with the intellectual movements in her
home city, is an active member of the High Street Methodist
Episcopal Church, and Mr. Hunter was for
several years on the Official Board of that church. He
is affiliated with the Masonic and Odd Fellows fraternities,
and is a democrat in politics, while Mrs. Hunter
is a republican.

SAMUEL FRANKLIN
HUNTER. Under modern conditions and
organization the fire department of a great city like
Springfield is one of the most important in the municipal
service, and its management requires rare abilities of an
executive nature, good its management requires rare
abilities of an executive nature, good diplomatic powers in
the handling of a large force of men so that the vast
machine may run without retarding friction, the bravery of a
fearless soldier and the broad judgment of an able general.
All of the traits are possessed in handling of a large force
of men so that the vast machine may run without retarding
friction, the bravery of a fearless soldier and the broad
judgment of an able general. All of these traits are
possessed in an eminent degree by Samuel Franklin Hunter,
chief of the Springfield Fire Department and one of the best
known fire fighters in Ohio. He was born on a farm
near Columbus, Bartholomew County, Indiana, Oct. 14, 1867,
and is a son of Joseph B. and Margaret (Everoad) Hunter.
Joseph B. Hunter was born at Hagerstown,
Washington County, Maryland, Mar. 10, 1834, the son of
James E. and Nancy (Morrison) Hunter, natives of
Scotland, who came from County Londonderry, Ireland, to
America in 1832, landing at Philadelphia and settling first
at Hagerstown, Maryland. In 1836 they removed to
Bartholomew County, Indiana, making the journey by stage.
When the Civil war came on Joseph B. Hunter
recruited, drilled and equipped, at his own expense, a
company at Columbus, Indiana, which was mustered into the
service June 19, 1861, as Company K, Thirteenth Regiment,
Indiana Volunteer Infantry, of which he was commissioned
first lieutenant. He served until the expiration of
his term of enlistment, and July 1, 1864, was honorably
discharged and mustered out with the rank of captain.
The following December he married and engaged in farming
near Columbus, Indiana, which occupation he continued during
the remainder of his active life. He died Dec. 17,
1906, leaving his widow and five sons and five daughters.
His brother, John G. Hunter, enlisted in 1862 in Company A,
Ninety-third Regiment, Indiana Volunteer Infantry, was
commissioned second lieutenant and served until after the
Battle of Vicksburg, when he resigned, but later re-enlisted
as quartermaster sergeant in the Tenth Regiment, Indiana
Cavalry, serving until honorably discharged.
Margaret Everoad, the mother of Chief Hunter,
was born on a farm near Columbus, Indiana, Mar. 20, 1844,
the daughter of Charles and Eliza (Bover) Everoad,
who were born near Allentown, Pennsylvania, of
Hessian-German parents. They removed to Bartholomew
County, Indiana, in 1828, by stage. The widow
Hunter now resides at Walesboro, Bartholomew County.
Samuel F. Hunter was reared on the farm and
attended the country schools, working on the farm until he
was seventeen years of age, at which time he secured
employment on telegraphic construction for the Western Union
in a district mapped off the Pennsylvania Railway System
between Chicago and Pittsburgh, and continued to be thus
emploved until he was twenty years old. In 1887 he
located at Columbus, Ohio, where he was employed as foreman
of construction and maintenance from 1887 to 1896 with the
old Columbus Electric Light & Power Company, of which
company John M. Plaisted was superintendent. It
was Superintendent Plaisted who started the first
electric lights in Columbus in 1885. Mr.
Hunter connected up and installed the first incandescent
lights in the Neil House at Columbus, in
September, 1887. which were the first lights installed
in that city, and in August of the same year assisted in
installing the first overhead trolley system in Columbus,
which was the first ever connected up in Ohio.
After nine years of service Mr. Hunter resigned from
the Columbus Light & Power Company, and under Chief Henry
Heinmiller entered the employ of the City of Columbus as
general foreman of construction and maintenance of the fire
alarm and police telegraph systems, and during his three
years in that capacity installed all of the fire alarm and
police telegraph wires underground in the mercantile
districts of that city. Also he was in charge of all
electrical inspection at Columbus. In July, 1899, he
resigned the above position to become foreman of
construction for the Central Union (Bell) Telephone Company,
and was assigned to a district embracing the counties of
Clark, Madison, Champaign, Logan and Union, with Springfield
as his headquarters. In 1904 he resigned this post and
April 1 of that year was appointed chief of the Springfield
Fire Department, an office which he has since retained.
During his administration he has inaugurated many new ideas
in the extinguishment of fires, fire protection and fire
prevention. He was one of the first fire chiefs in
Ohio to install an automobile pumping engine, and has been a
booster for motor-driven fire equipment with the result that
his department is equipped with the finest of motor-driven
apparatus. During his more than eighteen years as
chief the following large fires in Springfield have been
successfully handled by the department: May 8, 1906, the
Cottage Bakery, total loss, $25,000; Apr. 23, 1907,
Indianapolis Frog & Switch Company, total loss, $52,000;
Sept. 2, 1912, Cartmell Building, $40,000; Dec. 17, 1913,
Springfield Spring Company, $25,000; Mar. 6, 1914, Kerns
& Lothshuetz Abbatoir, $22,500; Dec. 12, 1914,
Robbins & Myers Fort Pitt Factory, $101,000; Apr. 21,
1915, Winters Printing Company, $30,000; Feb. 22,
1916, Inskeep Glove Factory, $23,300; Aug. 6, 1916,
Hennessy's Garage, Barrett Building and
Fout Candy Company, $21,100; Nov. 25, 1916, O. S.
Kelly Company, $67,000; Apr. 11, 1917,
Buffalo-Springfield Road Roller Company, $302,000; Mar. 12,
1918, alarm sounded at 1:11 a.m. from box No. 12, County
Courthouse, $54,000; Jan. 22, 1921, Kauffmans
Clothing Store and McCrorey's Five and Ten Cent
Store, in Commercial Block, $230,000.
Chief Hunter was one of the promoters and
organizers of the Ohio Fire Chiefs' Association, the first
organization of the kind in Ohio, founded in 1904, and was
its treasurer until the organization went out of existence.
In 1918 he responded to the invitation of Ohio State Chief
Fire Marshal Fleming to the ire chiefs of the state
to attend a meeting at Columbus for consultation on the
safety of industries making war munitions and the protection
of all railways in the state, which meeting resulted in the
organization of the Fire Chiefs' Club of Ohio.
Chief Hunter was chairman of that meeting and was
elected first vice president of the club. In 1919 he
was elected to the presidency, in which he continued for two
years, and is now a director. He was one of the
organizers of what is known as the Springfield Fire
Prevention Club in 1919, and has served as its president
ever since. He is a member of the International
Association of Fire Engineers, and in October, 1921, was
appointed at the Atlanta convention as chairman of the
exhibit committee of that organization for its fiftieth
convention, which was held at San Francisco, Aug. 15 to 18,
1922. The exhibition floor space covers 20,000 square
feet and Chief Hunter allotted the full 20,000 feet.
He is an associate member of the International Fire
Protective Association and is also a member of the American
Insurance Union. The chief of the Springfield Fire
Department is fifty-four years of age, a vigorous,
wide-awake, capable and experienced man, and promises to
maintain indefinitely the service of which he is the head at
its past standard of superiority and to continue to
incorporate into the system the methods and improvements
indicated by the advancement of mechanics and science.
On June 12, 1888, Chief Hunter married
Elizabeth Brennan, who was born in Kilkenny,
Ireland, daughter of Edward and Mary (Hill) Brennan,
who never came to the United States. They have one
daughter, Mary H.
