FRANK
A. RICHARDSON, M. D. Our subject, who
is one of the active young doctors of Huntsville, Logan
County, comes of a family of physicians, and has a
natural bent for doctoring. He was born at Ft.
Recovery, Mercer County Ohio, July 1, 1858, and is a son
of R. Bruce Richardson, also a native of
Ohio, who was born in 1830. His paternal grandsire
was Richard S. Richardson, a native of the Empire
State, who was a shoemaker in early life, devoting his
time in later years to farming. He came to Ohio
about 1820, and settled in Union County, where he
developed a farm, reclaiming it from the wilderness and
making of it a finely improved place. He died at
the age of seventy-three years. He was of
English-scotch extraction.
Our subject's father, although reared on a farm, chose
the profession of a doctor, as did five of his brothers,
namely: John, William, Robert, Jackson, and
Syrenus. Of these, Williams's two sons
are physicians. One of Jackson's sons
devotes himself to the healing art. Two of John's
boys are doctors, and including our subject there are
twelve physicians in the family.
R. Bruce Richardson, our subject's father was
graduated from Starling Medical College at Columbus, and
located at Ft. Recovery, Mercer County, where he enjoyed
an extensive practice until his death, which occurred in
1865. He was a Douglas Democrat in politics.
He married America Claypool, who was born
in Ohio in 1839. Our subject was the only child of
this union, and his mother died at the age of twenty
years. His father contracted a second marriage
this union being with Marietta Mitligan,
by whom he had one child, Arthur, now a druggist at
Salina, Ohio. The maternal side of our subject's
family is of English origin.
Reared at Ft. Recovery, Dr. Richardson
first attended the public schools there, and, when did
enough, began to read medicine under his uncle.
Dr. John Richardson, of that city. He later
became a student at the Ohio Medical College of
Cincinnati, and graduated therefrom in 1880. In
the spring of 1884, our subject located where he now is.
There were at the time six other physicians residing
here, only one of whom now remains, he being Dr.
Elder. Our subject has the largest practice
here, and his country practice necessitates long drives.
He is a student of marked ability and gives each of his
cases careful study, which has resulted in his
remarkable success as a practitioner.
Dr. Richardson was married July 26, 1884, to
Miss Alice Campbell, who was born at Round Head,
Ohio, July 26, 1860. They have two children, whose
names are Ethel and Ivel. Mrs.
Richardson is a member of the Methodist Church.
Politically, the Doctor is a Democrat. He is a
member of the County Medical Association, in which he is
an active member.

INGLE
W. RUSH. Agriculture and stock-raising have
formed the principal occupations of this gentleman, and
the wide-awake manner in which he has taken advantage of
all methods and ideas tending to enhancing the value of
his property has had a great deal to do with obtaining
the competence which he now enjoys. All his life
he has followed, with substantial results, the
occupation to which he was reared, and as a man, no less
than a citizen, he is highly esteemed. Born in
Logan County, Ohio, on the 10th of December, 1852, he is
the son of Josiah Rush, and the grandson of
Wesley Rush the latter a native of Maryland.
The grandfather came to Pickaway County, Ohio, in the
early part of the present century, prior to the War of
1812, and entered Government land there. He came
to this State by an Indian trail, began improving his
place, and became the proud possessor of one thousand
acres of valuable land on the Pickaway Plains. He
was a man of more than average ability, and was well
posted on history and the Bible. HE was an
excellent financier and accumulated much wealth. A
member of the Presbyterian Church, he died in that
faith. In politics, he was a firm supporter of the
principles of the Whig party until the formation of the
Republican party, when he united with that, and took a
deep interest in all political questions.
Josiah Rush, father of our subject, was roared
on the farm in Pickaway County, and after reaching
mature years, wedded Miss Malinda
Eatherton, a native of Pickaway County, Ohio.
Four children were born to this union, but only two grow
to years of maturity: Alice J., now married to
Millard F. Buxton, resides in Montgomery County,
Ind.; and Ingle W., the subject of this sketch.
The parents of these children removed to Logan County,
Ohio, about 1848, and here became the owners of much
valuable land. The father died on this property in May,
1860. The mother, who is still living and now
sixty-five years of age, makes her home with her
daughter in Indiana. She is a member of the Presbyterian
Church and her husband also held membership in that
church.
Ingle W. Rush was but nine years old when he
returned to Pickaway County, Ohio, and after residing
there for one year, went to live with his stepfather,
William B. Winters, with whom he remained until
twenty-six years of age. He secured a good
practical education in the common schools, and when
seventeen years of age started out to fight his own way
in life. After the death of the stepfather, our
subject took charge of the farm, and on the 6th of
February, 1873, he was united in marriage to Miss
Sarah A. Selby, a native of Mercer County, Ohio.
Seven children have been born to this union: Ira N.,
Zellie M., Lulu G., Merly B., Grove P., J. B. Ward
and Cecil C.
Mr. Rush settled on his present farm on
the 4th of March. 1879, and has made about all the
substantial improvements on it. He owns two
hundred and forty acres of land and has about seven
miles of tile drainage on the place. He annually
raises many cattle, hogs and sheep, especially hogs, and
is one of the best and most successful farmers in this
section. His handsome residence, one of the finest
in the township, was erected in 1885, and he is now
building a large barn, 40x80 feet, with sheds at each
end. Everything about the place shows the owner to
be thrifty and enterprising and he is recognized as one
of the best financiers for his age of any man in Logan
County. He is one of the county's most prominent
citizens. In politics, he is a Democrat, has held
the office of Township Treasurer for six years, was also
a Trustee for some time and discharged the duties of
those offices in a very efficient manner. He and
family are Christians in their religious views.
