STANTON
E.
MILLER,
M. D.
This successful physician and
surgeon of Florida, Henry county, has been in active
practice in that locality for about ten years, during which
time he has established a high reputation for professional
knowledge and skill.
A native of Ohio, Doctor Miller was born in York
township, Fulton county, February 28, 1862, and his family
is entitled to pioneer honors. His grandfather, John
S. Miller, was born near Reading, Pennsylvania, whence when
a young man he removed to Ohio, locating first in Seneca
county, where he was engaged in business as a mechanic.
About 1835 he settled in Henry county upon a tract of
unimproved land, which he cleared and cultivated for a
homestead. In 1832 he married Miss Rebecca Wright, who
was a native of Pennsylvania, and they now reside at Liberty
Center, Ohio. This worthy couple had six children:
Charles, George, Emeline, Warren, Eli, and James. The
father died November 10, 1897, at Liberty Center.
Rev. George Miller, our subject's father, was
born at Republic, Seneca county, Ohio, in 1834, and for many
years has been a prominent minister in the Christian Union
Church. At present he resides at Liberty Center, and
much of his time is devoted to agricultural pursuits.
His wife, whose maiden name was Ellen C. Leist, was born
near Circleville, Pickaway county, Ohio, and died in Fulton
county June 7, 1897. Their children were Mary, Stanton
E., Homer H., Lucy M., Charles E., Jay H., and Blanche A.
Doctor Miller had the advantage of a wholesome
country life during his boyhood, and was educated in the
public schools of Liberty, where he completed a course in
the high school, and at Fayette, Ohio, in the normal school.
He then began his preparation for a professional career and
in September, 1883, he entered the medical department of the
Northwestern University, at Chicago, where he was graduated
in the spring of 1887. He immediately engaged in
practice at Florida, opening his office in April, 1887, and
from the first his abilities have met with gratifying
recognition. As a citizen he is popular, and he is
identified with various organizations, including the Masonic
fraternity and the National Union.
The Doctor was married in Liberty Center, to Miss
Alma A. Babcock, who died in Florida, January 24, 1888,
and their only child died during infancy. On October
2, 1890, the Doctor formed a second matrimonial union, this
time with Miss Effie S. Kemmer, daughter of Peter
Kemmer, a well-known resident of Florida. John
S. Miller, the grandfather of our subject, sat on the
first jury empanelled in Henry county. |
WILLIAM
H.
MOWERY.
Among the agriculturists of
Harrison township, Henry county, who have attained success
from a financial point of view, is the gentleman whose name
introduces this sketch.
Mr. Mower is one of the most progressive and energetic
farmers of his community, is a complete master of the
calling which he is following, and today his fine farm of
one hundred and twenty acres is under excellent cultivation
and well improved. Upon the place he has erected good
and substantial buildings, including a comfortable
residence, where hospitality and good cheer reign supreme.
Our subject was born June 26, 1848, in Pickaway county,
Ohio, and in the order of birth is fourth child in a family
of eight children - four sons and four daughters - whose
parents were Samuel and Elizabeth (Gensel) Mowery. The
first twelve years of his life he passed in the county of
his nativity, and then accompanied his parents on their
removal to Allen county, Ohio, where the father's death
occurred. The mother is still living.
William H. Mowery continued a resident of Allen county
until he was married, December 5, 1871, to Miss Martha K.
Spangler, a native of Pickaway county, and a daughter of
Levi Spangler, late of Harrison township, Henry county.
Two children grace this union: Mamie and Nona. After
his marriage, Mr. Mowery came to Henry county, and in
Harrison township has since successfully engaged in farming.
He is held in high regard by all who know him, and his
sterling integrity and honorable, upright manhood, fully
entitled him to the position which he holds in the
estimation of the people of the community. |
